This is a custom typeface I designed from scratch in my Typeface Design course. We began by creating the simpler letters in Illustrator starting with "H"and gradually moved on to the more complex characters. Each student was assigned a companion font, a set of theme-related words, and a reference to guide their creative direction.
Each week, we completed 2–3 letters, and by the end of the course, we had developed a complete typeface. We then named our typeface and designed a poster to showcase it. On the left of the screen is my final typeface poster. To the right of that is the full alphabet prior to creating the poster, and the far-right image shows part of my design process.
One of the biggest challenges was maintaining consistency in the shape and theme of each letter throughout the entire set.
