50% off all job listings, and my feeble attempt at brush lettering.

Brush lettering is hard. Clearly this is why we have full-time typographers.

I think I’ll leave future lettering attempts to the pros. At any rate, post a job anytime between now and January 10 and get 50% off with code MOLL2015.
