Abstract Typeface Design



So this is the first instalment of my Final Major Project, and the brief I have set myself is basically to design Typefaces. Plain and simple. Although it will be accompanied by extensive research into the field of Typography, for example: Font pairing, what looks good together what doesn't. Kerning, serifs, Type Designers like Adrian Frutiger, Tobias Frere-Jones and Carol Twombly.

So again, this set above is a Typeface I've designed with the intention of emphasising simplicity, geometry and primitives. Now, it's not supposed to be entirely legible, that much is clear (Through experience almost none of my classmates could read or understand the characters G & Q {There's a thought, perhaps I could apply the GQ magazine logo in it to try and give it a new feel}).

Eventually it's my intention to have at least a couple of Typefaces, and I don't expect them to be similar, in fact they're all being made with different intentions so they'll definitely be different.
