Alan Dague-Greene was already making fonts while studying graphic design in college. After stints at T-26 and FontShop San Francisco, he joined MVB Design where he designed typefaces, web sites, and collateral. He now heads Basic Recipe Design near Boulder, Colorado.

MVB Peccadillo is an interpreted revival of a metal typeface popular in the 19th Century, then known as Skeleton Antique. Highly condensed with extra short descenders, the face makes a big impact in a narrow space.Holly Goldsmith worked from letterpress-printed specimens of 96-point, antique metal type, deliberately retaining subtle distortions due to type wear and letterpress impression. Alan Dague-Greene, referring to printed samples of Skeleton Antique, adapted the design to create two additional optical sizes: “Eight” for smaller text and “Twenty-four” for subheads.
