"Magna" is inspired by historic script, such as gothic and blackletter, with additional free forming swashes. It is a typeface that brings together the old and the new, similar to an alloy metal.
The name Magna is inspired from the word Magnalium which is an alloy of magnesium and aluminum.

The owner’s love for music inspired this typography project. She had chosen a selection of music lyrics that meant something to her. These lyrics were the basis of the the hand drawn typography that I had the opportunity to illustrate for the grand opening of her store.
The freedon given with this project allowed me to showcase my admiration for graffiti and hand drawn typography while being able to create letters that broke the barriers of conventional type.
