I started to develop my typeface by using an existing typefaces to base my design on.
I struggled with getting the width of the individual letters to the correct size and had
to re draw the typeface a few times. The height I drew my typeface at was 3cm because
it made it easier to divide into the thirds grid which makes the letters easier to proportion.

This is the first attempt at drawing my typeface. As you can see I found faults with it such as letter width, difficulty with curves, letters being out of the thirds grid and the letter spacing (kerning) looking wrong. After noticing these things I decided that 2.5cm width was correct for the capital letters but I should take the the lower case letters down to 2cm width. I also decided that getting the right curve would take a few attempts and maybe some extra grid work and a steady hand. With the width being taken down to 2cm the letters would be more proportionate and so would stay in the thirds grid. The kerning would be left until my typeface had been scanned into the computer.

I also tried a slim version as I thought mine looked a bit too similar to an existing typeface.
