Step 1 - Sketching my Ideas




To begin designing my own alphabet, I sat down and did some sketching. At this stage I didn't really know how I wanted my type to look, all I knew was I wanted to keep it quite original, organic and incorporate a flick or a twirl into it. I wanted to portray myself and personality through my design and keep it quite simple and timeless.

With all of this in mind I got straight to work, looking at similar fonts and the way each letter relates to one another. To keep it original I used my own handwriting manipulating it slightly and adding a delicate flick to each design.
