The following project, in partnership with my colleague Inês Ferraz, presents the study of three letters, G and F from Trajan and Future and y from Bodoni. The recreation was made through manual drawing that was transformed digitally into a vector. Then, the different components of the letters were studied. We made several comparisons with the reflections and optical compensations as well as numerical constructions using a grid made with essencial points of each letter. The fonts used in the five kerning systems were Times and Helvetica. The concept of the project is related to the geometric forms associated with each letter, as well as the primary colours cyan, magenta and yellow, which are connected with the shapes.
