The Vibrating going on in you last typeface study is really cool! I think that the legiblity of the M in that section is hard to read. But it is creating a great feeling of movement.

Great range britt. I would like to see the second exploration mapped out in a full face. The openess and little hats (for lack of a better term) on top of the A D & G really give is some character. I noticed on a couple exploration that you've created decenders on letters that don't usually decend, like K and H. That's a great idea and I think you should persue it, just make sure is hold consistent across your whole face.

I really like your last typeface that reminds me of cross stitching, i would work this one out more. The ones that i feel work the best are C through J more or less. Some other ones are a little hard to read, like A (looks like an M almost) and the M (hey maybe the A can work!). I also think the S and X are a little too solid compared to the rest. Great Britt, I hope this helps some!

OK so my second entry (the one that starts with Jessie May) is the bitmap face I want to develope based on recognizable handwritings to me. Jessie May and Evelyn are my grandmothers. I love getting letters from them and probably recognize their writting more quickly than my own. such a warm feeling. The goal is to finish Jessie May and Evelyn then do my moms writing and my own. You know different parts of the family of a typeface. Maybe cheesey, maybe intriguing... so that is where it is going
