Type Appreciation

Design Challenge 3 by Phuc Tran

I specifically like this typeface since it is bold and big. It is stylish especially in the tails but also have some formality with that organized look. Besides the amount of time this project took me for adjusting the archons, the most challenging thing for me is making the connection between each segments look smooth. They looks a little broken sometimes. The flaws also more recognizable when I have a closer up view so I tried my best by zooming in and made it as smooth as I can. David Carson is my favorite designer. I like it when he point at the words and said that they do not look like anything they say. For him, typeface not only communicate through their text but also on how they present themselves through visualization. It was a very artistic way of thinking. I think the most relevant principles in this is design are Framing since they need to be uniformed with the same size and Rhythm & Balance with the design at the tails and the thickness between different letters match each other, this created the harmony in the whole alphabet.

I also did a pangram for the typeface.
