Typography; Handmade Type

I have just started my typography project and one of the 2 main aims is to create a handmade type poster, in class the other day i hand drew alphabets in different styles including:
  • Handwriting in Caps
  • Handwriting in lowercase
  • 3D Caps
  • Joined lowercase
  • Negative space
  • curly
  • leopard print
I then scanned my favourites into the mac and made a live trace and added colour.
I Also researched into the handmade font website,

Also into Mike Perry's Hand Job Type Book & found it very useful and exiting to get inspiration from.
