The Design Moment that Inspired Alimentary
I was working on a retro-themed food blog project, and I just couldn’t find a font that captured the right blend of nostalgia and sophistication. I wanted something tall, narrow, and with a hint of playfulness. After scouring font libraries and marketplaces, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create my own font. And so, Alimentary was born!
