Future Alphabet
Typography, 2000-2001

In one of my favorite typography classes, we had to create an alphabet -- not just a font -- that better reflected our language.

i discovered two things: it is really impossible to have an allphabet that accurately reflects the way it is spoken, and that it is really difficult to create a good working font! For my final I decided to do some lettering, and create an abcederium, that would be a good way to remember broad types of font faces.
