June 2020font creation
After being inspired by the 2007 documentary Helvetica, I wanted to create a font to better understand the creative process which goes into it. I made each glyph on an isometric grid and used the Fontself software to adjust kerning and spacing.
patience is a virtue
the project
The timescale of the project was 1 month.
I delivered a font, including numbers and special characters.
The target outcome was to learn how to make a font.
the process
I used Illustrator and Fontself.
During this project I learnt about kerning and spacing.
Working on this project taught me to be patient with the design process, and to enjoy designing something again and again.
As for communication during this project… did you know Slack plays elevator music when you are in a call on your own?
achievements
This project was successful. I ended it with more fonts than I had to begin with.
A special achievement was having the font used in a music video.
