Developing letter s 

I didn't like the look of the letter with the added thin lines, and my font started to look too intricate. So instead I curved the beak of the letter s, imitating the letter i.

When I created the letter "h", I didn't see that it looked out of place until I made the letter "n", which was flat on top because its shoulder was connected to the top of the stem.

I started trying different ways to position the shoulder of the "n" and eventually connected it to the bottom serif, keeping the same angle as the serifs. This made the stroke thinner, which led me to add thinner strokes on the other letterforms. I was very pleased with how I managed to polish this design to make it look more sophisticated and interesting. However, there was still a lot of work to be done, such as focusing on the look of the set itself, by which I mean achieving a decent level of consistency.

After working with the physical materials, I moved on to developing the letters in Glyphs as the sketches were taking too long and it was harder to change some elements quickly.

I decided to make a lighter font as the bulkiness of the previous design did not suit me. It looked too heavy, harsh and simple because all the letters were too similar in thickness and shape, and I was confident that I could take it further with time given.
