An anfractuous venture of Very Cool Studios, Bruphy is the result of taking humankind’s oldest and most unfeigned question and asking it again: “can a Robert Simmons Sapphire Short Handle Flat Brush write 20th century latin letters worthy of MakeOTF?” While philosophers and literary critics have long suffered over the physical limitations of this question, only one (1) person has braved the path of experimentation. Like Marie Curie, who imposed her experiments upon herself, this death-or-glory typographer (me) walked the untrod path (make font) and crafted the antidote to generations of hankering. In Bruphy, today this riddle is solved, this question answered.

Unaccommodating Dogma
Best Camerawork
Coworking Tails
In the opening interior shot of the series, the south-side Smiths sit sprawled and stuffed on the couch and floor of their farmhouse-chic living room. Rawlings sits alone in the frame as the camera pans out slowly to reveal Coby, Carter, younger brother Clark, and sisters Charla, Carly, and Jessica. Coby sits shorter than the group, but each child younger stays about the same size. Even the baby Jessica, seven years old, sprawled out on the floor, leaning against Carter’s leg, looks twice her age. The only childish tell is visible in their varying abilities to stay still, decent on camera. They are a pile of puppies.
