Sketchbook entry :: Leigh type process
This is some type process for a face called Leigh. The original intent was for a Jewish Holocaust center poster. I was attempting to communicate a calligraphic type rendering, referencing a carefully done hand-drawn aspect, with subtle reference to Hebrew letterforms. Latin type serifs were added to create a bristly tenacity. My process involves a fair bit of hand sketching, following up with individual letter refinement, then testing out groups of letters using random words. The serif face became the starting point for a sans-serif version.
