Typeface Design

  • Sarah Hawes

We shall draw an original text (not decorative) typeface by hand and Illustrator. Digitize the typeface into an OTF font using Fontself Maker. Use the font to create a promotional type specimen. You have the following three options to chose from:
1. Un-serif a seriffed classic or established text design.
2. Design a typeface to solve a specific problem (proposal needed).
3. Draw a theoretical typeface following a planned 10-parameter specs (construction, ascender, descender, width, contrast type, contrast amount, stems, stroke endings, weight, application).
