Design Principles: Visual Literacy

Galiant.

I named my font 'Galiant' as i thought it was very suitable for this letter.

Galiant Script Regular

Galiant

 Galiant is a mixture of two words; Valiant (Possessing Courage and Determination), and Gallant (Grand, Fine). This is what you call someone who excels at anything they play, mainly videogames. This word can be used to describe someone, or used as a proper noun.

I then edited them on illustrator to make the varitions of the type face: shearing for italic at an angle of 10 degrees, increasing the pt for bold, bold italic and ultrabold condensed as well as scaling the condensed by 80% vertically. Furthermore i traced each one to make a handrendered finish ready for my next design practice tutorial.

Clockwise from left: Light, light italic,bold, bold italic, ultrabold condensed and regular italic.
