Alphabet soup - Sadie's typeface

This is the final typeface that i designed for Sadie. I am satisfied with it in terms of answering the brief correctly and expressing my adjectives based on Sadie's looks and personality. However i do feel as though i haven't manipulated the fonts i used very much and it is essentially three different fonts over lapped. If i was to develop it further i would like to change the fonts more altering the typeface making it more unique.

Alphabet soup - typeface design sheets

The typeface at the top of this sheet was my initial idea having the bold upper case font merged with the elegant scripted type to give a contrast to the letterforms. when it came to the progress critique it was pointed out that, although it works really nicely as a font it started to 'flow' too much and didn't emphasise the contrast enough and people suggested i try using upper and lower case as well to broaden my development.

Further down the design sheet you can see i began to act on that feed back and started merging lower and uppercase fonts together and remove different parts where they overlap. 

To ensure i got that my typeface showed contrast i began to work with negative space and i looked at where i could shade in certain areas of a font and leave others empty. It opened up a wide range of processes that resulted in a range of similar yet differing letterforms.

Once i was satisfied with the letterform a added the scripted font to the equation to see how it affected the letterforms and what other visuals it could give.

In the end i chose the bottom right as my final design as it was the most legible whilst it remained in context with the adjectives and the brief.
