About This font started out as something entirely different – called ‘Elspeth’ – don’t know why, but there will probably be a Kingthings Elspeth at some point… As I began my process, cobwebs and spiders kept turning up – it may have been around Halloween. I love spiders because I have always disliked flies – well it makes sense to me, and I leave a spider ladder over the edge, when there’s a little eight legged friend in the bath… (One of these days I will wake up helplessly spun in silk and will realise, all too late, my terrible error.)
