OUGD403 | VECTOR TYPE | FINAL CHANGES

I have decided to stick to just uppercase as this was the easiest format to work with, with the geometric style of my letters. It was a useful learning curve as I actually discovered my initial idea of outlining the letters didn't work as well as I thought. The more angled letters seemed to co-operate well as I didn't have to create as many 'joints', however some letters just did not look right at all:


These look appealing, however I then tried to create "G"….

As you can see this letterform just had too many dots as I was trying too hard to curve it in the shape of an outline. I decided to revisit my other idea of just having single strokes and found this worked so much better.

I have now decided to stick with no outlines and just use single strokes for my letters, as I also don't want my type to be over facing, rather just effective in a minimal way.
