Talk to enough type designers and you’ll quickly realize something: there’s a story behind every letterform. In this Behind the Font<\/a> series, we’re on a mission to reveal the creative process behind some of the most popular font families on Creative Market. This time around, we talked to Ellen Luff \u2014 the talented designer behind Hackney<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>1. What inspired you to design Hackney? Where does your creative process usually start?<\/span><\/h3>\n

My normal creative process starts with travel and museums. I really like to soak up creativity and see type in the real world \u2014 it’s guaranteed to inspire me. I take a lot of photos of all sorts of type, building my own library of sources. From here some characters just stand out and get stuck in my head. I\u2019ll let them simmer in my thoughts until I see a whole idea formed from that one character or key feature.<\/p>\n
