Based in Vancouver, Canada, Cindy Kinash started her own type label Cultivated Mind in 2012 with the release of her first type family, “Hello I Like You.” She’s since remained focused on the casual hand- lettered genre, uncovering sunny and subdued textures along the way. A few of Cindy Kinash’s popular designs, including Pacific Northwest, Wanderlust Letters and Wanderlust Collection, were created using a paintbrush, offering the typefaces a truly handmade and personalized feel.
“I think that what makes my foundry unique is that I offer a lot of different styles of handmade typefaces,” she says. “Cultivated Mind doesn’t have one distinct style, as it is constantly evolving and trying to release fonts that you haven’t seen before.”
