AREN'T WE SOOOOO CUTE?!?!

Oops! (I did it again)
I recently submitted my display typeface as part of a scholarship portfolio (fingers crossed, please), so for some reason that I cannot explain, I thought that it would be a good idea to reformat my folio so that the presentation would appear more consistent in size and color. The results are below, and the unnatural joy that I've experienced by working with this typeface so many times has directed me to the possibility of completing an independent study in type design this fall semester. I would love to finish Restoration by resolving the awkwardness found in the 'Z' and other characters, design a set of accompanying diacritical marks, and try my best to introduce a lowercase alphabet. I often find myself browsing through the thousands of photos I took on our Prague trip, and there is so much inspiration for unique type design that I can't help but be intrigued by the seemingly endless options. It would be great to start developing a handful of distinctly different ideas and see what might be possible (and reasonable) for the future. My major focus would be digitizing historical and/or hand-drawn typography, to "restore" those examples, if you will. Please excuse my cheesiness. I'm just happy because I started work this week.
Love,
Jay Jay
P.S. I miss you guys.
