"RECURVE" Custom Typeface

A full-semester assignment focused on creating a fully custom typeface with a focus on learning the history, process, and programs associated with type design.

My end product, RECURVE, is a calligraphy-inspired decorative display typeface with a consistent, heavy stroke in three specific areas— baseline, x-height, and cap height— that span across all the letters and numbers.

Additional Notes:

  • Program: Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, Fontlab 8, Glyphs

  • Time Taken: ~4 months
