A-Z of Typefaces








Here's a response to a summer brief set for me with starting my degree at Leeds College of Art on the 23rd of this month. It proposed that I deliver 26 10cm x 10cm 2D pieces each displaying a letter of the alphabet, with the motive of expressing a bit about myself. Well, this range of work says that I like Typefaces; each piece has a key of up to 5 stars to represent my personal opinion of it, however I'm starting to think that was a pointless decision, because I doubt I'd ever knowingly use what I felt was a poor Typeface. Imagine Comic Sans for example, okay it sets the bar for a 1 star Typeface in my view, so it would be great in representing my opinion, but I still wouldn't feel comfortable with it among the other Typefaces.

Anyway here's a taste of some of the ones I've designed so far, there will be more to come.
