Generating Font in Font Lab.

I then took the red ink on red stock look from the booklet and creating some more posters.

BOOKLET DESIGN TWO

It was good to see how the font works as body copy and printed out. I chose the colour red to relate to the Royal Mail.

I liked working with red on red - it has a screen feel effect to it.

I tried it on white paper as well, but think the red is a lot more successful.

BOOKLET DESIGN ONE

I used one of the foiled prints as a band around the booklet and one of the stamps to seal it. I think this works quite nicely as a set - with a postcard inside and a set of stamps inside.

As part of the second typeface brief I decided to create another booklet just for this way up. Having the font as a workable type really made this easier! I did two variations and the (top) second one is the final.

I already had my typeface set up as an illustrator file, but it was getting a bit tedious having to use the type as a shape rather than an actual font. It seemed pointless having a font that was not workable, when I wanted to work with it in context of things, and see what the font would be suitable for.

I copied and pasted the illustrator files into Font Lab and then edited the letter forms within Font Lab. Below are some screen shots of me doing this. It took a full day to create the full typeface.














And now it is part of my font book :)
