A 'fledgling' display face
Eider is the expansion of the early 1900's magazine Bird Lore. The magazine and prior publications focused on natures and the study / conservation of birds. This interpretation, in collaboration with Burke Smithers is an attempt to take a traditional logotype and expand it into a more modern display serif. In a way it parallels the work of those at Bird Lore when they modernised into today's print magazine.
This project is on-going, but we couldn't resist sharing it due to it's uncanny visual success in its early drafts.
