The G sits fat and happy.
DESIGN #26: F IS FOR FINIKY
I took my very first typography class in 2003 as a freshman at Kansas State University and have been madly in love with typography ever since. One of the projects in that class was to use existing typography and modify it to create 2 new fonts. We were only required to create enough letters to spell out the name of the font. One of the fonts I created is Finiky and was based upon the cover of a Switchfoot album (see image here). I'm still in love with it and plan to create a full font (or even an entire typeface if I'm feeling super motivated) in the future.
Today's F is based on Finiky. So it's time to saddle up world! And say hello to F!
DESIGN #25: E
I have mixed feelings about posting a lower-case letter; it just doesn't feel right for some reason. Nevertheless, I love the frilly look. Bonus points if you can find the other more abstract calligraphic upper-case E's that I hid within the lower-case letter.
DESIGN #24: D
I'm really enjoying the contrast of elegant and modern, straight and curvy, and geometric and asymmetrical for the D.
DESIGN #23: C STANDS FOR...
After spending way too much time on this still-not-so-great-looking C, I've decided it's time to give it up and move on to D.
DESIGN #22: B
B meet world. World meet B.
DESIGN #21: A
As I mentioned in the January Roundup, February's challenge is to design a letter a day. This challenge is specifically inspired by the amazing Jessica Hische and her Daily Drop Cap series. While inspired by Daily Drop Cap, my letters won't necessarily all fall into the drop cap category. For practical purposes, I'm starting with A, and although February is a short month, I plan to complete a full alphabet by the end of the month.
