The monogram project served as an introduction to understanding how fonts are constructed, and how to pay attention to the anatomy of type characters to create a cohesive set of initials. It was also a study of how to iterate creative results with limited approaches and rules of the parts that made up the characters. Lastly, this assignment was a study of cohesion, intent, and craft. Not only did I have to pay attention to the letters’ anatomy, such as cap height, x-height, and baseline, but the form of the letters and the variation of stroke/weight had to be cohesive and intentional. In my case, I attempted to imitate a calligraphic style with distinct variations of stroke.
