For the assignment I chose Bodoni. I thought it was beautiful, elegant, and modern. I love the straight line look mixed with the older, classic typefaces. It is also very neat since the vertical axis is straight down.

I found this exercise very satisfying. I do enjoy handwriting (I’m very proud of my script) and drawing. However, it was still challenging even though this assignment was up my alley. I tend to write in a tilted/slanted fashion so to get accustomed to straight horizontal and vertical lines was a bit difficult. Overall, I think I did a decent job. Could of been better, could of taken more time to carefully craft every right angle. I also smudged some of the letters with my eraser. I found it most difficult erasing the right pencil marks, forcing me to redraw some of the ones I liked. Definitely learned how to be more careful and observant of typefaces– something I have hardly taken the time to notice.
