Birth of a font. OUGD404. Study Task 2.

 For this task we were asked to bring in four different fonts, Aa,Bb and Cc, all of different categories (Roman, Gothic, Script and Block). We then cut these out into sections of the letterform.

With these we were asked to change the fonts by mixing up the different parts of each letterform to create completely new letters. 

Birth of a font letters

From these new letterforms I chose my 5 favourite ones that I though work the best with a mixture of parts from different categories of font.

These are the 5 sets of letterforms that I thought worked best out of all of the mixed up fonts, and so from here i'm going to draw these out and also create the Xx, Yy and Zz letterforms.

I think that most of these work well as a set, however I found it hard to do the Cc so that it would fit in and look like part of the font. I think that this is because the c has only one part to it, and as the other letterforms have more than one part, they are much more different.
