Project 2: Type Design

Begin sketching at school, develop a concept for a new font whose forms could fit in 5cm. height. For this project you need to find two different characters. (No decorative or fancy characters allowed) Represent the letters A, B, C, P, Q, R, in capitals only
Draw your letterforms on a sheet of graphic paper.(A4) Consider proportion, weight, and structural features such as height of crossbars, how elements end, etc. Give your typeface a name.

Studies could be done on A4. Final work should be executed carefully on A3 size paper.

Size : A3
Due to: October 21st.

Project1: Type Prototype

Type Prototype
Careful observation of letterforms is an essential part of the projects remember no curves or diagonals. We will only exercise on capital letters.
bitmap fonts are built out of the pixels (picture elements) that structure a screen display. Whereas a postscript letter consists of a vectorized outline, a bitmap character contains a fixed number of rectilinear units that are either “on” or ”of“. outline fonts are scalable, meaning they can be reproduced in a high- resolution medium such as print at nearly any size. Outline fonts are hard to read on screen at small sizes, however, where all characters are translated into pixels.
Pixel fonts are widely used in both print and digital media.
