Studio Brief 2 - Typeface Design - Word Definition

The aim of the brief is to create a full typeface which will portray an emotion or adjective of our choosing. The typeface must be based on one of Mueller Brockmanns typefaces which we must then manipulate to create our own typeface. The  typeface must include either a full A to Z of upper or lowercase letters which must work together in endless combinations.
