Below are a selection of choices from the chosen typefaces, with a good variety of glyphs and letterforms. To still keep with the original intentions of the brief, I have kept with initial glyphs available in the chosen typefaces as inspiration for designs instead of new directions. With these typefaces being so popular, there was already plenty of choice from what was available. The reasoning for choosing these particular letterforms was personal in what I see as beautiful characters. Letterforms that sit on the page/baseline easily, well constructed, flowing curves, required terminals, elegant joins, defined and controlled change in weight and additional symbols and shapes. What I have found through selection is that k, u, g and variations on an e shape are quite consistent through typefaces. For further selection an comparison, the letterforms have been arranged on single sided spreads to compare, but by accident are beginning to look like good compositions (with a little tweaking)
How nice is that lowercase a in Clarendon? mm mmm.
Still amazed by the strange selection of glyphs and characters available in a typeface, and how weirdly some characters don't look finished. (compared to an original alphabet)
