I am dying to see what you come up with for this! Old English script font meets modern grudge. There's a lot of deviousness to this character-see if you can use that!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this book before.. It sounds so cool! You have a ver fun set of words to work with! I can't wait to see what happens!!
ReplyDeleteStory sounds interesting. I am more interested in the rhythmic writing of the story. Incorporate the principles of iambic pentameter as inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Harrison, the iambic pentameter concept is unique and using that visually to maybe exaggerate the characteristics of each letter could be pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThis novel sounds very cool, im curious as to how the typeface will eventually look like. It seems as though you will have tons of fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Zac, modern meets oldstyle would be nice!
