For this class project, we were tasked to design a modular typeface, meaning we needed to develop a grid to build all our letters. Some letters were easier to design than others, but the challenge was making them feel cohesive yet unique like the typefaces in my mood board. I wanted my typeface to have organic forms which was hard when using a grid. Once I had developed my typeface, I picked a name and designed a poster to represent the typeface. Using a picture I took, I created a digital mockup of my design as a mural in Downtown Bryan, Texas.

Grid System
Working within a grid system proved to be more difficult than I initially thought. Since I wanted to create letters with curves and organic aspects, I had to find a way to incorporate those elements into my grid. Once I had a few letters built, it was easier to see the shapes forming new letters.
