Typeface Development

After designing my own typeface and not being so sure about it appearing on my final piece I narrowed down the original typefaces I had on the mood board to my favourite ones and the ones I thought stood out most.


Eventually after cleaning up my typeface and filling in the empty areas this is the result I received. I like the style of typeface but think the quality isn't great and I am not quite sure how bold and eye catching it would be on a big poster or wrap of a makeup product.



A close up of my scanned typeface after adjusting the threshold prove it was quite bad quality some areas needed filling.


After putting the mood board of typefaces together I felt inspired to design and create my own, my starting point is shown in the image above where I drew a style I quite liked from the research I had previously done into typefaces. The next stage was to scan in my hand drawn typeface onto photoshop where I would develop it further.

As I was getting further through the stages of development, I finally chose a name and began to look at the typeface I could potentially be using of my final piece/s, I decided I liked the effect and style of more hand drawn and brush stoke typefaces. I collected a mood board of the range of typefaces that appealed to me.
