TYPEFACE DESIGN

Creating your own typeface requires you to think of several things:

1. What is the THEME, or personality of the type?

       • Is it old fashioned, modern, scary, clumsy, techno.....or other personalities?
       • How does the SHAPE and VALUE (light and dark) of the typeface relate to the theme?
       • How does the type sit on the BASELINE?
       • What shape does each letter have in common? Consider: x- height, stem, serifs, bowl, descender?

WHEN COMPLETE, present your typeface on the blog and label these parts: stem, serifs, bowl and descender.
