AARDVARK CAFÉ was inspired by the famous Hard Rock Café logo. It’s a worldwide pop classic and seems to have been originally hand lettered. In imagining the rest of the alphabet, I strove to work the little upstroke “wings” into all the caps and the swashy descenders on the h, m, and n to match the k.

Version 1.5 makes use of the stylistic alternates feature of Opentype; unswashed characters are included as alternates now and the character set has been extended.
