This style of letters that I have created I decided to go with a smaller scale. To draw them I continued to use the grid method but I used the width of 1cm and the height staying the same at 3cms. I liked how this turned out, because the curves were easier to draw, meaning that they look more accurate and the curvature is less obvious. By having this smaller scale it makes the type face thinner, therefore the overall aesthetic is completely different. I like this though because I think it is different and would suit some of the packaging that I am wanting to design.
Underneath the original type face I repeat it, although this time I added an almost serif style design to the letters so that it would change again. The variation of thicknesses is interesting, and I like how there is focal points on every letter. This style also makes it bolder and easier to read; though the style is restricted to particular products and genres because of the serif look, yet I have learnt a lot by developing this style and I do think I will be able to use it in one of my final six letters.
