My next typeface is progressing fast. I was about to say that I’ve finished the first draft of all the letters (upper and lowercase), but actually this is probably the tenth draft. This is just the first draft I’ve been happy with.

❗️ AI Generated ❗️
Having started my career as a web designer shortly after the internet went public, I've always been at the forefront of evolving technology. Now, AI is set to revolutionise our design processes. While it's shaping up to be a valuable tool for ideation and presentation, it's not the end-all for final designs. Quality, craftsmanship, and taste remain irreplaceable. Take this 'G' design, for example. It looks great initially, but its proportions and visual flow aren't quite right. Unlike traditional design, it can't be fine-tuned — only redone from scratch, often losing the initial charm. This is where the discerning eye of a designer remains crucial.
