  Paramithi: R and K edits

  type@cooper…day 19

  Today is the last day! I fly out of NYC tomorrow. It’s been a great learning experience, and while I might be ‘finished’ here, I’ve still got a lot of work to do on my typefaces! I’ll still post my progress from time to time, because I know everyone is…

  This is my current progress on the Paramithi font. My numbers and punctuation still need work, as do a few capitals. And one day I will have more alternate capitals! <<Paramithi>>

  I’m now having to test my font in InDesign, to see how it works at different sizes. I’ve been killing a lot of trees, printing out test after test just like this. (Click on it to make it bigger) Capitals! I might have a couple extra that the user could…

  type@cooper…day 13

  This is what my desk looks like these days. Covered in paper printouts and drawing utensils and other various bric a brac… kinda drives me crazy, but can’t do much about it! I drew some capitals today, but didn’t get very far with them. Capitals for my goofy font are…

  type@cooper…homework!

  All lowercase of Paramithi is finished! Though some of the letters need work. I can’t print until Monday (it’s better to evaluate the letters on paper and not on screen), so this will have to do for now. I was asked to thin out the letters to see what they…
