Week 12+ - Experimentation

Something that I’ve been working on recently is creating my own typeface. It has been something that I’ve always wanted to try and thought it was the right time to try and create one as it could be used in a Major Project.

The letters above were created just using the pen tool. I changed the thickness of the stroke to the bold letters. It’s still early days in regards to this typeface but I’m pretty pleased with how it’s going.
