Joe was named after some of the inspiration lettering I used to create the font, it was advertising a "$1 cup of Joe" —and Elaine is for the street I was residing on in the city where I saw the inspirational work :)

What’s the story behind the names? Naming fonts is an interesting challenge.

WIP Typeface family, Joe & Elaine (created in Glyphs)

I followed you to your website and found the meaning behind the names. Nice. Do you know Future Fonts? The couple behind it are good friends and I (and other font lovers) I have backed lots of fonts in development.

Funny I never saw this until now, thank you!

Thank you Miguel! I'm hoping to complete it by spring :)

The ‘2’ and the bolder weights are lovely.

That's the one I'm calling Joe! The "family" will consist of three complimentary fonts, Joe, Elaine, and Jim
