Alphabet soup / Illustrator workshop

Final design:


To generate the full alphabet i took sections of my initial practice letter H and used them several times for developing the alphabet. To make the C,D,G,O and Q i made the curved part once, and slightly altered them to make them a legible and fitting letter form, others i had to rearrange a shape to recreate new elements of the letters.





Over all i'm really pleased with the final designs, i think the letter forms work well as a typeface and i believe the resemble and grasp the word condense generally, the use of small shapes create clear yet compact letters.
Above i printed the typeface on A1 white stock, i feel the large scale print highlights the letters making them very bold and clear to read.
