Project: Showcase the typeface I created
Class: Typography 2
Duration: 4 weeks
Tools: Illustrator + Photoshop + Fontself
This was a solo project
Ophelia is a black-letter typeface that combines the soft curves of traditional Cochin, and the sharp black-letter lines of Cabazon. The type Ophelia is named after my Great-Grandmother, Dorothy Ophelia Blackwell. The typeface reflects a grace and strength that reminds me of her.
The typeface Ophelia is an attempt to create a more feminine black-letter font.
