Days 4 - 10

When I went to work last Monday, I was given a new job... to re-design a flyer for school enrolments for the new year (isn't it a bit early for that? Anyway...). I searched for a font that looked like cursive chalk writing. And when I couldn't find one I liked, I decided to make my own! Chicken Potpie has taken a back seat this week while I worked on this new typeface called 'School Enrolments' (ha!). It's based off of Snell Roundhand, and I'm still working on a few ligatures. :-)

And this is what it looks like in my flyer (contains some placeholder text):

Day 1

Less than an hour for Day 1 of the 100 Days Project to finish, aaaand here's todays achievement. I hereby present to you, the first thirteen lower case alphabets of my new typeface. The typeface is currently called Chicken Potpie but it totally has potential to change. I don't like chicken.

The reason I chose this specimen to make into a typeface, was because of the upper case alphabets (to come soon). They reminded me very much so of Maori Kowhaiwhai patterns, and I thought it was fitting that I started off the 100 Days Project with this typeface. :-)

I realise that the bowl of the "o" isn't perfect, but at this moment, I just want to get the alphabets out; I can tweak later on.

Over and out. :-)
