After changing a few of the lining directions and refining and creating a symmetrical letter for each one, i decided on taking some of the research i'd had and not making each one similar but enough to be paired in a category. For instance the T and I are balanced with just one negative line through the left side of the text. I wanted the type to be legible and sane, keeping it classy and approachable for most occasions. I love the cultish marking in the O and Q, and the reckless overlapping of the lines on the K. The H is my favourite, mainly because its a guessing game of which of many lines is the original.
The Y is a sentiment to the cocktail glasses of the 1920's and the glamour of drinking champagne.
The one letter that is unique from the bunch is the U. I created the mid lining because I didn't want to weight it down too much, also its in line with the lines on the letter V. The letter i struggled with most is the Z, i think it's originally not a very nice and it was hard not to make it look too weighty with the lines.
