Right before the holidays we were contacted by the awesome Christine Dewairy at Toronto Life Magazine to design a cover for their gift guide issue. Check back later today for a look into the process of making this cover.
The Marais Progress Report
Digitized & Set by Aaron Carambula
Since graduating (certificate receiving?) from Type@Cooper I’ve been working on my original design, Marais. All of the skills and understanding gained while making and learning in those semesters couldn’t be fully expressed in the work without revision. I’ve found the evolution of the Ultra weight very satisfying, and yet I still see ample room for improvement. When Paul Shaw posted about the program on Imprint I was excited and yet a bit embarrassed because I saw the old version of the face as an inaccurate representation of what I learned, just what I had made.
So I’m presenting the work in progress as it stands at the moment, highlighting improvements in the three areas most important to a cohesive typeface: Drawing, Spacing, and Kerning.
