When driving becomes writing

Owning driving license opens up many possibilities. I’ve got mine one month ago and you can call me *On the road* begginer. From now I can work on the ground, wherever I have to. But what happens when driving becomes writing? No, it’s not dangerous, do not worry it’s very creative. Two typographers Pierre and Damien and a pro race pilot Stef collaborated to design a font with a car. Sounds extreme, right?

Watch the making of iQ font, guys really done a great job.
