Centra : a typeface : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This thesis contains a typeface designed and created over the course of a semester. As a creative project for my Visual Communications senior thesis, it contains documentation of the steps and processes I went through to develop the typeface and eventually turn it into a digital font available for download. It briefly covers the visual history of typography and my experiences while researching. My work methods and choices along the design process are covered as well. The rich history of typography now contains a new font, and this thesis serves to showcase and explain the development of Centra, a typeface.
