Another view of Natalia in Dior masterly captured by Peter Lindbergh side by side with the minor letter ‘r’ during design process of Reflection Italic character which later evolved into Reflection Ecriture. The base of the stroke separation in the glyphs like ‘n’, ‘m’, ‘h’ and ‘r’ was pushed down to the bottom almost a little beyond baseline to enhance the flow of the letters and add more of a handwritten character to it. I also experimented with more evidenced calligraphic turning points obtained by inserted interim curves or straight lines into its curves. Reflection Ecriture is conceived as an exclusive font for perfume design and should reflect the classic luxurious elegance of Christian Dior fashion griffe. You may also view it on Instagram and comment on it if you like. Credits: Peter Lindbergh | Photography Natalia Vodianova | Model]]>

This character in the beginning was named “Allure” as a working title. For I asked myself what is an allure, and how would it influence on a character for the famous Chanel perfume? As almost always I was inspired by some photo shooting by fashion photographer Paolo Roversi and his intriguing — what Italians like to call “inafferrabile” — style. After some first studies the Signer font was developed out of it and elaborated over a longer period of time before getting used also for some brand lettering studies.
