Reflection
Experience
Its was a very tough but exciting module. From level one to now, I would say is very hard module, but I appreciate to have learned so many in typography. Different typeface really have their own personality and characters, and this making the module very fun and excited.
Observation
What tools and typeface you used could reflect your personality. Even just a type of type font have their own different weight, when it back to FontLab and Illustrator and you make some adjustment, there will be new typeface event just a little change and adjustment. By the different tools, different weight of line, different strokes, its would create thousand type fonts.
Findings
You need typography every single day in life. Maybe the drinks you had, such as: Coca-Cola. The style of the lettering used is called "Spencerian Script", Even the "M" front "McDonald" are a kind of type font which we always used, called " Helvetica Black". If wasn't this module, I won't find out my favourite food and drink brands had their own signature type font.
