MIKIYYAH TYPEFACE

Creating a custom font for digital notetaking that is feminine and handwritten.

IDEATION

SKETCHING

Custom vector brushes helped mimic the pressure and variation of physical mark-making. Digital sketching helped me to compare my designs side-by-side with scanned handwriting samples (above). A few alphabets were drafted (see right).

FINAL PRODUCT

Imported my favorite pen-style characters into FontSelf (an extension for Adobe Illustrator). Once completed, the following demo video was created in Adobe After-Effects to demonstrate the functioning typeface.
