Decisions on where to break each letter is tough, I don't want a typeface that ends up looking like a plastic stencil set so judging where to put the divisions is proving tricky.
I want to demonstrate the type as image for it's decorative uses at larger scales, the typeface will never be used as body copy and will have a suggested minimum size of 12pt. Meaning that it is to be used only as titles, headers, quotes and creative displays. This will be communicated by the colouring pull out poster and front cover of the book, as well as several pages of the typeface in use
The solid fill works very well, much better than an outline style font, it highlight the cell structure much better and I think that parents would be able to see sense in the typeface with a solid fill.
Trying a thin weight has helped my decision in using a heavy typeface, there is much more space for an interior decor and gives much more impact on the visual for a younger audience. There is much more surface area to show colour.
It has been a struggle to see how the typeface looks best with the breaks, I have attempted all on the left, all through the X hieght and a mixture of both.
In the look book/ type specimen book, the idea of having a colouring in page to highlight the true use of the typeface will be created. I am in charge of the look of the final book, meaning the cover and colouring page will be my responsibility.
