Centable Book
It is very difficult to select pick any one font as my favourite since I have a likening for too many fonts. But if I have to make a choice then Centable Book stands out for me. Primarily it is a very clean and readable font which is why it tops my list. One can read anything written with it from a distance and it also gives a spacious feeling.
Though it comes from the serif font family, some of it’s characters have a contemporary touch. That makes it quite exclusive. Moreover this font can be use for different purpose and for various subjects. For example the same type can be use in body copy as well as a headline.
In particular I like alphabets a, g, e, q in lower case and also the dot on ‘i’ and ‘j’. The shapes are pretty different from the regular round or square ones which makes the fonts special to me. If you observe the letters closely the base of some letters are a bit slanting which proves that the letters were not totally designed for formal reasons. Therefore, the lowercase are more special to me than the uppercase. Given a chance, I would like to make some changes in the uppercase characters. Not many but surely some of them. Letter Q, O, M, R and S are the most impressive from the uppercase.
Whenever I have a simple and decent design to make, I consider this font as a priority. For most of my project I used this font. As a professional, I used this font at in various campaigns. Sometimes even in stationary design and also while creating logo designs when the name of company was started with letter G. Since ‘G’ has the most exquisite look amongst all the characters, upper or lower case.

Gopi - these are all interesting questions and could start you on a range of experiments (I like the ice cream one in particular) but it would also be nice to see some questions relating to the initial idea of exploring what it means to learn how to write a letter as a child which we discussed in class - are you still interested in this?
ReplyDeleteI think if you are still interested you can start to really explore some more exciting investigations...
