I chose this typeface because I tend to use a lot of Blackletter and Script fonts in my work, and I felt this typeface was, in a way, a cross over of both of those. I altered the letterforms slightly by making them a little more defined and pointy. It was a challenge working on this as my first typeface but I really enjoyed the process and hope to develop it further and add more characters later on.
