One happy accident for the project was incorporating the “working” components of each letter in the design itself. i.e. when I work on fonts, I find the common weights (stroke thicknesses) and common shapes, and move these around to exact positions. And by making them separate BRIGHT colours (I use magenta and orange) enables me to see each section clearly.

I recently had the pleasure of creating something unique for a friend’s project (more on that to come soon!). And for reasons, I created a custom typeface, a latinised version of the Adrinkra alphabet from Ghana.

Adinkra has some fantastic characteristics and has a very modular form which made it a fun, yet simple, design to work on.
