Brief 15 - Glyphs & Foreign Letters

Following the inputting of the letters and numerals, I started with the glyphs. I decided that I would do just one variation for the glyphs, but do them in all four of the weights.


Inputting glyphs:





Following this I moved onto creating the foreign letters to create a bit more of a finished and rounded typeface which is international. I am doing these now as I have the elements already to create these, I just need to put these together to create the letterforms.

I decided on doing European foreign characters as these are quite simple and the ones that I know best, and I have the majority of the elements for already. I just need to create a couple of the accents, but the majority are there.

Foreign letters created:








Overall I am pleased with the way these have turned out in the light version, so will be continuing to create these in the thicker weights. I think the accents all work well and the letters look great with them included, so I think overall they definitely add to the existing typeface and show a new level of application.
