From this we traced the letters manipulating different sections of each letter;
For the letters above we had to trace them and multiply the width of one stem by 100%. By simply enlarging a stem I created a completely new font. The logic behind manipulating letters to create a new font seems simple but the tracing and drawing of the letters is more difficult because of precise curves. To get around this obstacle I used a French curve, however I struggled using the curve because I couldn't get a straight clean curve but with more practice i'll improve.
For the image above we had to manipulate each gothic letter differently. From left to right; For both As I made the stems light and bowls bold, for both Bs I made stems bold and bowls light and for the Cs one was made light as possible and the other bold as possible. From these simple processes I had managed to create 4 new fonts from one existing gothic font. Again I struggled with the curves but I feel I've improved compared to my previous attempts. I still struggled with the Cs but the bowl on the lowercase A is the best curve I have produced using the French curves.
