"Przez kilka ostatnich lat czesto proszono mnie o zmodyfikowanie [moich wczesniejszych czcionek] Burgues Script i Adios pod kątem tatuazu. Na poczatku bardzo podobal mi sie pomysl przylozenia reki do naznaczania ludzi, w tym najmocniejszym znaczeniu slowa "naznaczac". Wkrotce zaczalem na caly proces patrzec okiem profesjonalisty, bo w koncu chodzilo o typografie, jakkolwiek i narzedzia i medium nie byly typowe. No i sama typografia stala sie dosc intymna.
[Jasne,] wczesniej tez kombinowano, ale z tego co wiem, zadne specyficzne liternictwo nie zostalo opracowane. Niektorzy tatuatorzy eksperymentuja z kreska i forma, wiekszosc jednak korzysta z popularnych czcionek.
Mam nadzieje ze Piel Script przypadnie wam do gustu. Jesli bedziecie chcieli wykorzystac go w swoim tatuazu, bede przeszczesliwy. Jesli stwierdzicie ze bedzie sie dobrze prezentowal na deskorolce czy okladce ksiazki, tez bardzo mnie to ucieszy. W ten wlasnie sposob litery staja sie czyms osobistym."
Alejando Paul to uznany w typograficznym swiatku projektant znany z kilku ciekawych czcionek, z ktorego umiejetnosci i poczucia literniczej estetyki bardzo czesto korzystaja znane marki (jak chocby Procter & Gamble, SC Johnson czy Danone).

"Over the past couple of years I received quite a number of requests to typeset and modify tattoos using Burgues Script or Adios. At first the whole idea was amusing to me, I was being asked to get involved in personal branding, as literally "personal" and "branding" as the expression can get. After a few such requests I began pondering the whole thing from a professional perspective. It was typography, after all, no matter how unusual the method or medium. A very personal kind of typography, too.
[Sure} there have been quite a few attempts at making [tattoo], but as far as I could tell a stylish skin script was never attempted in the digital age. Some artists go the extra mile and take the time to develop their own lettering for tattooing purposes most tattoo artists use generic type designs to typeset words.
I hope you like Piel Script. If you decide it to use it on your skin, I'll be very flattered. If you decide to use it on your skateboard or book cover, I'll be just as happy. Scripts can't get any more personal than that."
Alejando Paul is quite well known in a typographic world because of his ideas and not-that-obvious taste when it comes to letters which is being used by such corporate brands as Procter & Gamble, SC Johnson, Danone and others.
