about the artwork Neuton is a Dutch inspired serif typeface that bends and curves like a paintbrush on canvas. Though it’s subtle and clean like Times New Roman, it’s as dreamy and charming as any work of art. Featuring sweet serifs, curvy bowls and soft tails, Neuton is the perfect typeface for any creative looking to add some whimsy to their type collection.
about the artist Brian Zick is a type designer from Arkansas. Originally from Pennsylvania, Zick is a web and type designer and has an interest in calligraphy. His typeface is named after Newton County, Arkansas, but it is inspired by Dutch design and typography.

“What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person — somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then — even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners.
