Brief 3 - Alphabet Soup/ Typeface: Final Outcome

On the right is the final outcome for the Typeface project. Overall the letterforms have worked well by portraying his character and the chosen glyphs support this: The exclamation mark and question mark are necessaties as they provide an essence of sarcasm and his outgoing side. The more than and less than arrows long with the pound sign link back to the idea of being money orientated, working a lot  and wanting to be in the black. the astric is meant to symbolise his need for accuracy with the idea being that and astric is used to draw someones eye to correct something or add more information in later on. 


On the left you can see the letters up close where the concept of loops around the letter really shows. The one problem encountered whilst creating this type face was that when it was practiced on a separate sheet of paper it the letter form was a lot bigger, when it came to sizing it down the pen couldn't be sized down as well so the lines are thicker than wanted. However it doesn't look noticeable and still as a whole works effectively.
