DCS Delftware
Based on porcelain art

We’re in GB now click here to go to the GB post

Delftware is a set based on old porcelain artwork, painted by hand, the font and sublegends have all been chosen in order to make a set that looks refined but a little bit imperfect. I picked the theme a) because porcelain stuff is really cool if you think about the effort that goes into making it, and b) because blue and white are super awesome colours which look great together (see every other blue and white keycap set ever made). The sublegends and novelties were all designed being heavily based on actual porcelain artwork, in order to fit the theme better.
This set will run in dye-sublimated PBT in DCS profile by Signature Plastics (SP) to allow for many unique sublegends without increased tooling cost. As the set will be run by SP the typeface has been updated from what was proposed in the previous renders to Gorton - see images of the samples below. All renders will have been updated with a similar (but not identical) font to reflect this.

The base kit and dye-sub PBT are using SP’s default PBT colour WAN. The dye-sub legends in the sample above closely match Pantone 2726C. Based on responses from the IC form this will be the final blue.

Kits:
Disclaimer: Renders + fonts used are a representation of the final product but are not 100% accurate due to limitations. Renders are done with Cherry profile caps, with a similar but not identical font. Font during production will be Gorton as used for DCS Red Alert and DCS Yuri.
