I took a class at Cooper Union called “Principles of Typeface Design” and learned how to draw characters, sketch my own system by hand and create it in Robofont. My typeface, Kasvi Sans, will be a continuing project.
“Create your own typeface brief.” was the instruction. Here was mine:
“Design a botanically-inspired typeface. It should be able to live as headline or the main message of a greeting card.” The name Kasvi comes from the Finnish word for plant.
