Typography Transcription - Development

This second session on Typography Transcription, we created full alphabet designs that was influeced from our references. I was working on this graph lined paper which is slightly different from the last session. I also used tracing paper so my design looked clean. Here are some images from the workshop:



Here is one font I roughly finished that was influenced from the first session. I noticed as we was drawing out each letters, some were more challenging than others. It was a good problem solving task that we completed. I like the simplistic, ruler look so neatness for this design was key. However, the design below is more freehand. As you can see, that is the image where I got my influences from with the curves. To make this font better, I would of added colour but I quite liked the greyscale look. This font wasn't too hard to draw and the letters were decent and equal in size.


It was another good session drawing up the full alphabet. The next session will be the final transcription workshop so it would be interesting to see how my final font looks like. I think I will stick to the ruler method because I'm not so confident with my drawings so doing it freehand just doesn't look as good as a smarter font.
