meet the artist
I’m Andi Aukshunas: Wife, designer, feeler, and dreamer. I live in a century old farmhouse in Tennessee and spend much of my time sitting on the back porch surrounded by nature, quirky barn cats, and chattering ducks. I’m intentional about cultivating a grounded and soul-centered life, and my artistry reflects a yearning for preservation and simpler times. I design with my hands using rudimentary tools like graphite, ink, and newsprint. The traction of a pencil on paper, paired with the simplicity of the alphabet brings me a sense of peace and predictability. My font shop is a virtual filing cabinet of handmade letters that honor the beauty of texture and imperfection. Each collection speaks to something deeper: a craving for order and tactility; a season of feminine embodiment; the nostalgia of writing recipes and love notes. I hope there’s one that speaks to you. ♡
I.
preservation
I was raised against the backdrop of rolling hills and open pastures. Heritage and preservation have long been embedded in me, heavily influencing the analog quality of my work. I’m inspired by the familiar, everyday moments and objects that feel like something more. Bare feet in an open field. The first summer strawberry. Faded ink on a time-worn letter.
II.
unhurried intention
The best ideas come to me when I step away from the screen. In slowing down, I find clarity and reconnection with myself and my creativity. Baking bread from scratch, planting seeds in my garden, hemming a linen skirt——these simple rituals become fertile soil for new ideas to take root.
III.
originality
The magic of working on paper lies in the unexpected nuances, like a unique curvature or soft ink bleed, which can’t be replicated or digitally emulated. Beyond the novelty of hand-drafting, each font collection originates from a real experience or season of life that’s personal to me. You could say this is where my heart meets my hands.
