Type-Two

i've come up with my second typeface design and again i am really proud :)

from the simple word 'edit' over the past week i have manipulated, exaggerated, re-done, simplified, changed, stencilled, drawn, generated, added, taken-away, varied, and quite simply edited typefaces to come up with a solution to, 'what does an "edited" typeface look like?'
after looking at ways of changing the shape i began thinking about what i was doing, i was changing what i had previously done, i've edited the type. but which one represents edit? the truth is, they all do. so i simply combined what i had done, using tracing paper, i overlapped the forms of several typefaces together. so the edit became the indecisive selection of font and the changing of the font combined. combining the forms into one and producing an edit.
the result i think is beautiful. combining the elegant curves and formality of a serif font "Times New Roman", with a more modern and up-to-date typeface such as "Arial". And finally combining these with their lowercase i think the result is very pleasing. i could imagine one of these letters being used as a heading or title in the first letter of a word, to given extravagance and attention.
after completing the work some of my fellow colleagues criticised my work, they agreed the final outcome was appealing but some felt that the idea of combining the typeface forms reflected more of an idea of hybrid rather than edit. on some level i do agree but i do think i have achieved something special here and i think i should look at pushing the idea forwards.
