Design Principles Session 3: An Introduction to Type - OUGD404

In this session, I was revisiting my type I had created for 'the font family' study task. 

Criteria for success:

- Readability and Legibility 

- Works as a font family

- Consistency of modification

- Distinction

- Consider method of making

- Ongoing evaluation from criteria feedback

More general observations:

- Accuracy

- Italics

- Weights

- Hand Rendered

- Review of Modification

Italics - No more than 12 degrees for italics (Some push to 18, some to 8)

How far you take it, defines the readability.

SHEER - Half the X-height. Maximum is 4 points.

Difference between italic and on oblique:

Italic is for serif and an oblique is for sans serif.

Modification - Distinction = CONSISTENCY

Formulate the Rules (The font family)

1. What am I going to modify?

2. How am I going to modify it?

3. How bold can it be?

4. How light can it be?

How sheer can it be?
