Font & Shape

Deciding on the right on the right typeface was very important to get the right feeling for the piece. I found laying different typefaces on a contact sheet enabled me to to get an easy peer assessment by surveying.
The fuller fonts seemed to lose the meaning easily and as breaking down the font was the next phase they became to eligible and therefore became unusable. Another problem to consider was how to mount the thinner types as they would become very delicate in the cutting process. To get over this problem maybe a mounting is needed?.











Another way to arrange the type forms was to aline them with the neck allowing them to fall but complications arose as the letters would have to connect like a stencil to hold the product together. Design two contact sheets and surveying allow me to gain an idea of which people would perchase the product this process was invaluable.
