Here is the current state of the Jetsonville font—the Prototype—midway through Week 3 of this capstone project. We’ve got uppercase, we’ve got lowercase, we’ve got all ten digits, and a bunch of punctuation and other special characters.
Monotype’s recommended character set contains 186 characters. Shown above are 82 of them (if I am counting correctly). Only 104 characters to go!
So that’s what’s been done so far.
Punch List
What remains to be done:
The rest of Week 3: Draw more characters.
Weeks 4 and 5: Fine-tune the character weight, spacing and kerning on the whole font.
Week 6: Finish type specimen still images.
Week 7: Finish type specimen motion graphic.
Week 8: Finish project web page.
Week 9: Prepare final presentation
Week 10: Make final presentation.
User/Target Audience Feedback:
This week I will be submitting the Jetsonville font in its current state to my subject matter expert and mentor, Chank Diesel. Next week I hope to report on his feedback.
Then, in a few weeks, I will ask several designers/art directors/font users for their feedback on the Jetsonville font and report their feedback here.
