IXD301 – week 9 – Choosing my typography and creating my wordmark

REQUIREMENTS FOR MY TYPE:

  • A short X height and a short cap height – allowing for lots of information to be put in a small space (for example within the periodic table, I don’t want descenders tangling up with each other easily)
  • Legibility allowing students to take in the copious amounts of information as easily as possible
  • A range of different weights (this will be really important for showing different hierarchy’s and the importance of information throughout the application)
  • should be a sans serif (this is just my personal preference)

 

MY CHOSEN TYPE:

I chose this typeface because…

•Lots of information means a very legible font is needed ✔️
•Lots of weights allowing different information to be conveyed ✔️
•A few interesting letterforms add a pop of personality ✔️
