A Typeface for Shakespeare's Plays


Project developed while studying at Type@Cooper's typeface design condensed program.
Five weeks, 12 hours a day (at least!). Rosalind, based on one of Shakespeare's characters, is a personal project with a 200+ character set specifically designed for theatre plays.  

A short list special features for theatre texts considered while working on this project: 
   1. Smaller caps, as every line will start with them, even in soliloquies. 
   2. Old style tabular figures that’d help actors find their line numbers. 
   3. Small caps for character’s names, to create a more even visual texture. 
   4. Special ultra thin punctuation for stage indications.
