Mark Fickett Art: Symbols

This project explored what makes letterforms, and how different styles differ. The first part of the assignment was to make two sets of shapes that looked like letters, one solid and one linear.

The second part was to select from those forms and modify them to fit with two different extant fonts, Bembo and Didot. They new forms were to fit in a specific string: HO · A · M · G · B.
