TASK
Using the principles, processes and resources introduced in the first four studio sessions develop a series of practical investigations into the development of new letterforms and fonts.
The Process - Use the individual anatomical elements of your chosen fonts (Gothic, Roman, Block, Script) to create a range of possible new letterforms.
1 - Cut the individual ellements out and re-construct them in order to create a series of Hybrid leterforms.
2 - Select the 5 most succesful/interesting/legible letterforms and produce the uppercase and lowercase Aa, Bb, and Cc
3 - Trace these off and hand render them.
4 - Using the same approach to hybriding create the appropriate upper case Xx, Yy and Zz for each of the 5 new fonts.
Below is my response to this task including the cut out process, digitalising, and final traced fonts.
