Back to R'leah: The Font

So the last assignment I was tasked with was to make a font!

"Cool. What should I make it as?" I asked myself. So I looked at Illustrator's brushes, tinkered a little with the basic stuff, and found myself an idea: Cthulhu mythos!

The former is my capital letters, and the latter is both lowercase letters and symbols. Sadly, the font makes it lose some of its lovely detail when put into use, but it still looks pretty good in my opinion. I haven't yet figured out how to type with it (or submit the text file).

I did, however, decide to use it for a header.

And I think it looks pretty good. Particularly the Xs and Ss, they look pretty fine. I added a few other characters I use fairly often. I think I could get used to making fonts, but it certainly takes a while. In the future though, I'll try to do some less wispy edges, it'l make the font look more substantial. But for cthulhu mythos, a little wispy seems alright to me.

NOTE: We also had an assignment to make a vinyl sticker. I'll be adding this to the blog tomorrow evening, most likely. I want to stick it on a door or somesuch. before I get a picture. I'm quite proud of it, so it will certainly appear in the near future on this blog.
