Disney's 9 Old men fauxsaic illustration

A while back, I created this illustration to celebrate Walt Disney’s original, 9 old men; the moniker of some of the most impactful artists Walt ever hired.

Fauxsaic Display is a new display font based on some recent illustrations I created celebrating Disney's original 9-old-men.

As I reviewed the illustration, I though a display font, based on the intent of the illustration was a challenge. So, Fauxsaic Display is a new display font based on some recent illustrations I created celebrating Disney’s original 9-old-men. This will be a new font release, so check back with us as we prep for launch!
