Custom Order
I make custom shapes to order. If you don’t see a style you like or have an idea you’ve always wanted to try, use this. I can also modify existing shapes.
Tonal Differences
This is a grid of tonal characteristics for each style in order from brightest to darkest sounding. I make 3 shapes with varied edges: the Badger, the Wolf, and the Bison.
Bright
Mid-Focused
