City shots


Some research from walking around the city. (probably blogged in the wrong order)

City Typeface




I have completed the typeface by walking around the city and letting the letters reveal themselves to me. It's addictive.

Typeface at work


An example of the typeface being put to use.

Punctuation..


Based on the grid I did the punctuation too, now I can write meaningful sentences using my typeface!
