James Puckett  of the Dunwich Type Founders has written and article for I Love Typography about the design process for his typepface Armitage.  The link to the full article is here: Designing Armitage.

I am always fascinated by these glimpses into the font design process. To be able to see the inspiration for a typeface, as well as the choices made by the designer are always appreciated.

Armitage is available from FontSpring and MyFonts.
