2. This book is about Shadowhunters, basically demon hunters. They are purposed to keep the demons and other evil/mythical beings out of our world. The book peaks with an epic battle in New York. The Shadowhunters special weapon is that they use a special stylus to draw runes on their bodies that give them special powers. There are runes for strength, stealth, healing, speed, and similar things.
3. Jace Wayland-Main character. He feels responsible for everyone in the story and feels it's his purpose to fix things. He's tortured by the mystery surrounding his past and about the blood lines that run in his veins. He's a soldier through and through, knows nothing but the battle between his kind and the underworlders. He's reckless and doesn't quite understand that there are actually people surrounding him that care about him and would prefer he be more cautious in his escapades.

From what you told me of this book it sounds awesome! That kind of character is always my favorite, the tortured hero type. haha. I know you are thinking of incorporating the runes into your type, and after reading this, I love that idea even more. It suits him. Strong letters with contrast, but no overly thinnish lines like Bodoni or Dido. Calligraphic and black. Sounds cool.

ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea and you can also do some of your capital letters using this as inspiration.
I have never read this book but from your summary it sounds interesting. It has a dark tone which could be used as inspiration for the typeface.
ReplyDeleteSounds really interesting, i imagined the typeface being really dense and bold but has really precise sharp edges to it
