Times New Siggi started out as an type illustration for the New York Times, for an article about censorship on the internet. After finishing the illustration I decided that this could be nice as a full typeface. It was done very quickly, without too much thought, as I wanted to keep the letterforms quite random and different from each other.

What I realized after finishing the typeface was quite surprising and pleasing at the same time. When used big (30-70pt) it looks like Times New Roman,drawn by Siggi Eggertsson. In medium sizes, 14-25pt, it looks like Times New Roman that has gone through an old fax machine, and when it's used small (6-12pt) the distortion almost disappears and it could as well be the original Times New Roman. So it kind of has 3 different layers. Pretty cool.

This typeface will be available for purchase in the near future, more about that later.
