Over the last few years, I have realised I am very interested in typography, editorials, editorial design, photography, and poster design. That is why I decided to explore 36 days of type and create my own fonts. I saw a few examples of how people had created their type and I realised that there were no restrictions whatsoever and I could free flow with my imagination so that is one aspect that caught my eye.
I had an idea in mind since the start and I don’t think I budged on that even though I went through a series of iterations and changes – I stuck with my primary idea of how I wanted my type to be and how I wanted it to look. My basic idea or inspiration for my design was from Roman structures, Greek structures, Roman and Greek paintings, angelic structures and symbols, fairy tales and fantasies, old Roman fonts, and old British fonts. I wanted to create a very classy yet very detailed type of typeface or font, so that every letter had a certain amount of detail or a certain amount of imagery to it, so that by itself it looks like an artwork or a painting. I wanted the entire typeface to come together as a whole so I did keep a certain narrative throughout, but I wanted each alphabet on its own to be considered as a separate piece of art. I tried colour and monochrome and the monochrome suited my entire idea better.
The idea was to go unconventional with the font, making the font in a way that is never seen before and use different kinds of drawings and ideas to change or to create an unconventional type. I think that freedom is one reason why I played around with my font and came to the outcome I have now.
