Through the process of matching existing typefaces to letterforms I found in my surroundings, I was pushed to understand the unique choices typeface designers make that distinguish their forms from other typefaces. I took extra care to identify the most distinguishing characteristic of each found letterform and go on to choose an existing typeface which possesses these same characteristics. I believe that this produced an effective match which showcases the essence of the found letterform in a way that wouldn’t have been possible if I simply chose a typeface where the single character matched exactly to the letterform from my surroundings.
