Brief
Baskerville’s
vision of perfection is portrayed in his font; we took the font Baskerville and
changed it to suit our version of perfection. Our new typeface reflects the
precision in the type’s symmetry. We focused on the size and thickness of the
font to portray the appeal and attractiveness and this use of symmetry and
precision will allow our typeface to more persuasive and universally used. The
font designs look ancient and strange therefore we want to show this through
the means of materials, we chose a thick tweed fabric to capture an old scroll
and the ink will contrast it well.
