This project was for my advanced typography class in the spring of 2024. In this class, we had eight weeks to create a typography-related project. This project used the program FontLab Studio to create my very own font. Once done with the font, I made two posters to show off the font.
"Cookies & Milk" takes inspiration from the Celtic font's brackets and serifs and hints at the classic look of a typewriter font. The superscript dot, also referred to as the title of the lowercase "i," drew inspiration from classic Celtic fonts. The thickness of this font was inspired by the typewriter look. Blending both inspirations to create "Cookies & Milk." y The Celtic typeface was used in Scotland from the sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century and in Ireland until the mid-twentieth century. In eighteen eighty three, the first known typewriter font was created to resemble the typewriter and meet the demand for the typeface. The first commercially manufactured typewriter used a shiftless alphabet, soon replaced by a slab serif design that became the new standard in the first half of the twentieth century.
