Typeface design – Ongoing

September 2010

Latest print sample of untitled typeface currently in development. The goal is a highly useable typeface; a clean, solid sans-serif with a distinctive character. I'm keeping a strong focus on legibility and the flow of the letters together as much as individual letterforms.

Lowercase g

October 2010

Revisions to lowercase g, noteably optical adjustments to the connection between upper and lower bowls. Also considering the use of a single-story g as an alternate character.

Text samples

September 2010

Part of some printed text samples (manual spacing only) with the limited letters done so far. Sample done before latest revisions.

The design incorporates humanist qualities to create an original, interesting feel that also remains clean and serious enough for use in a range of situations. The large, open counters aid legibility and the individual elements of the letters are similar enough to maintain an overall cohesive look without being identical.

Revisions

October 2010

Sketchbook notes and revisions to the lowercase shown above.
