Assignment 05
Modular Alphabet: Week Ⅲ

Continue to refine your alphabet based on last weeks crit and create numerals for your font, 0-9. Print every letterform on 8.5×11" paper. Collate your letters in a standard size 1 inch three ring binder so we can flip through your letterforms from a-z and 0-9. Letterforms come alive when used in context. Name your typeface and create a promotional poster, including every letterform you've drawn. Your poster should be 24×36", make sure every letter is represented. Imagine your specimen poster as an advertisement for your typeface, it should have a specific visual language that relates to your name. Consider additional illustrations or imagery to support the overall concept of your typeface.
