Content-focused Typeface Design
Based on the creation of the board game study aid, I was prompted to create a typeface in the spirit of the game. Pulling from the ideas of old blackletter fonts and with a drive to make it look modern and fun, I began sketching out possibilities. I focused on keeping the contrasting thin-thick strokes characteristic of blackletter typefaces and did away with the more geometric look by creating curves in place of all the original corners. The result was a bold look that created a definite presence on the page.
