About Lacquer Fonts

Lacquer is an expressive display font featuring heavy drips and dozens of alternate glyphs. Lacquer was hand drawn using a paint pen by Niki Polyocan and was extrapolated and finished by Eli Block at Google Creative Lab. You can see all of Lacquer’s glyphs on the font’s web specimen.
