Serif:
This rocks my socks because it conveys how I (and a lot of designers) feel about type. It’s got a mind and body of its own. And it must be studied to fully understand its potential.
Sans-Serif:
This captures the essence of the word essence. Pretty straightforward.
Hand-Rendered:
Apparently, this typeface took 4 months to complete. Pretty impressive.
Misc (I don’t know what category to put these in):
Long story short, I want the type on my website to convey a feeling and have something conceptual about it, rather than just being Clarendon for Clarendon’s sake. That’s why I’m starting to get into experimental typography. It puts type into a more tactile and personal realm.
I want to push myself out of my little typographic comfort zone this semester. And I wanna be friggin’ awesome.
