Hand Drawn Typography

This session differed from the revosu one learning about standard typography. typefaces and fonts whereas we’re bending the rules and creating our own typography using our own painting materials which is really interesting for me because the words and letters can be used to create its own image in itself or the shapes and characteristics of the lines can be altered to represent a mode, a feeling or the theme of the zine itself.

I used templates of other fonts to create my own style using different outlines and shapes to create a more abstract version of each letter from the template, because this more my style as i prefer working more abstract than normal so it was exciting for me to develop my own style and relate it to how I can create typography in a different and inventive way. I used my outline drawing and transformed it into a template by using the scalpel to cut out some of the shapes then used paint to paint over, creating more versions of the one letter ‘K’.
