Playing with ideas for generative type. These sketches use a modified (off-lattice) Eden growth model, with a bitmap of the type used as a constraint for growth. The different textures come from tweaking the growth rules. View this one high res to see the fine detail.

While cleaning out an old portfolio I ran across a paste-up of a typeface that my husband designed. He would work on an alphabet, then paste the individual letters on a board with reduction instructions for the printer. The printer would print a volume of sheets that I would use to paste up words for display headings that would be reduced to whatever size would be needed to use in a mechanical.

 

The old-fashion way of having a typeface in display sizes to use when nothing was available, all long, long before Fontographer.

 

I laminated the whole sheet to use as a teaching aid when I taught typography classes and it got such heavy use that the laminating material is pealing off.

Poem Script is a mixed collection of interpretations conjuring a late nineteenth century American pen script style. Though not an actual Italian letterform, this style was called "Italian Alphabet" stemming from an old penman's term for an alphabet where the stress or shades are opposite their normal placement. The American variant followed from the late eighteenth century British hand also confusingly called "Italian Hand," which itself evolved from some seventeenth century French batarde scripts.

 

It showcases the phenomenal control and mastery of hand skills required to create such ornamental and lively letters centuries ago. Producing the shaded strokes in reversed positions such as this required holding the pen in a position horizontal to the baseline, or the letterforms would have to be written backwards or by rotating the paper at peculiar and extreme angles to achieve the effect.

 

Exotic, elaborate and very attractive, Poem Script contains plenty of variations on each letter and comes with hundreds of calligraphic ornaments.

 

Poem Script received a Certificate of Excellence at the Type Directors Club NY.

West Texas A&M Type 2 Project: educational poster aimed at informing the viewer about typography and some of its terms.

this was actually a photo of the sunset from the plane window, but i just loved the colours too much to delete it, so used it as a typography background :)

I finally made some weird custom lettering this summer, and it was fun!
