For this project, I chose Baskerville. Honestly, I chose Baskerville because I thought it seemed easy… I was very wrong. I realized that this font had hidden curves everywhere and that serifs are harder to draw than I had assumed. I learned that the font had a slight thick and thin relationship for some letters that seemed either unrecognizable at a glance or the relationship looked so great that I decided to heighten the differences. I learned to be EXTREMELY patient throughout this project. Yeah, it was a straight forward assignment, but I got so meticulous in doing this assignment that I caught myself measuring all the sides of the letter to try to keep the measurement sizes in my head, while I commenced in drawing it free-handedly.

I think the hardest thing about this project was determining the spacing between the letters. Though the words “KATIE THE WICKED” don’t seem too difficult, I had to use multiple tracing papers to determine how I was going to space out the ‘AT’ in KATIE and “IC” in WICKED. Whenever I wrote out those two letters next to each other, they seemed too far and weird, especially because of the serifs sticking out. The ‘A’  in KATIE still looks off to me, but I’ve tried my best.
