Description
Letters of Rhythmic Violence is a series of drop caps illustrated with graphite on paper. It's unsettling flow invites viewers to lose themselves in the tension between its calm yet disquieting forms.
After finalizing my thumbnail, I moved onto the a larger piece of paper and started drawing. I layed out basic guidelines such as the baseline, cap height, and ascender height line. I referenced Ken Barber's "House Industries Lettering Manual" and Bruce W. & Nolen Strals "Lettering & Type" as guides for type anatomy.
