Traditional Aztec: Personal Typeface

For Typography 2 class, I was given 9 weeks to create a typeface for a client. I decided do for a traditional cultural shop called American Trails. My inspiration was aztec patterns and triangles. Those two are related because when I was doing my research, almost all aztec patterns are based on triangles.

There was a lot of drawing, sketching, and research for this project. It definitely was one of the big projects that I had to do and I pretty much spent almost most of my days working on this.

Typography 2

Fall is here and here goes Typography 2. This is probably the busiest class I had to take in the history of Bachelor of Graphic Design. For the first class, I got like around 5 homeworks assigned. Good thing I liked the classes, so it was not as painful.

The first assignment is to draw letterforms: Sans Serif, Old Style, Transitional, Modern, and Black Letter. I had to draw a D because for the theme for my final typeface I'll be making is "Dream Catcher".
