My Typeface

After looking at different styles of my own handwriting I decided that the typeface I wanted to create was one that I had taken some care in writing out, although the type looks flawed despite every intention being to make it look neat, I thought that the irony worked as a strength. Although it is a style that should look perfect, it doesn’t, making it quite unlike existing typefaces. After writing it out I filled in in and compare the new filled in type to the hollow one I had started with. Which got me thinking about what I was going to use to put my type into context and I came to the conclusion that my type did not have to be completely filled in to make it, I could play around with it as I decide what I want to do with it.

 

My typography

own typeOnce I had looked into the type produced by those around me I began to hand write words in different styles myself. When writing fast and carelessly, the outcome is very different compared to when you take your time and put care into each individual word you write out. So I would write out some very carefully, some very carelessly and some that were in between. Above are just two examples of the styles in which I created using my own handwriting.
