Font Design

Overall theme: disaster, menacing, caution, trip gone wrong

For font design inspirations, I began by searching for images related to some of the key words from my previous blog post.

Nepali written language:

Conclusions/Further Ideas:

• Serif font with letters that come to points at the end to give them a glacial quality
• Letters should be curved, not block letters
• "Escape" and "Yeti Expedition" should have more spacing between letters than the words "from the"
• Based off Nepali written language, almost like calligraphy, with thicker down strokes and thinner upwards and curved strokes
• Final line could have more dripping icicles off of the letters
