Draft One:
It is clear that some of the line width is inconsistent throughout my alphabet. Very condensed letters such as 'M' are almost too compact and I feel I need to make them slightly wider. It's a lot easier to see aspects to change once all the characters are presented together. For some characters, such as 'I', 'J' and 'O', I haven't manipulated the structure much, just made the line narrower and condensed it. If I have enough time I would like to look back at these characters in order to make my typeface consistent across all of the characters.
Here is the original Universe Ultra Condensed typeface in relation to my adaptation of it:
I have clearly created a narrow structure in relation to height and width and I am pleased with the flow of the typeface. The thinner lines make it easier to compact the characters together which could be useful when saving space.
Although condensed typefaces are predominantly used for saving space, I increased the kerning to see how it compared to very close kerning. I feel it could be used for film posters due to its ability to work with narrow kerning or large spacing. I like how different connotations can influence an audience, just from manipulating the kerning.
I aim to adjust the width of line which may influence how much I can adapt the typeface as characters such as 'N', 'M', 'S' and 'Y' are still a bit too large in width. If I change this, I feel that my typeface will be a lot more consistent and balanced.
