Nosce te ipsum

Something I did at the tattoo shop today. Client came and wanted this phrase tattooed  on his wrist (know thy self, if my memories of high school latin are correct), and had an example of a typeface that he had his heart set on. It looked familiar, the name was on the tip of my tongue, but try as I might, I couldn’t recall it. I looked through all the typefaces we have on the computer, but no luck. The closest we had was Matthew Carters Skia. I altered a bunch of the characters, added serifs, added the accents, and voila. About 20 minutes of work.
