Typography Final Feed Back

For this final critique I prepared 4 questions to ask my peers which would be placed next to my work so that people can write down responses for my work. The questions were;

- How effectively does my typeface reflect my adjective shy? And Why?
-What context can my typeface be used in?
-Do you think my typeface is consistent? Does it work as a set?
-Can you see the sense of shying away within the individual characters?

And the response I got -

• 'Thin stoke widths, in comparison to thick creates a juxtaposition.'

• '1. Thin strokes, but presentation not appropriate'
• '2. Book titles, preferably display type, but could be used for body text in a large size.'
• '4. yes, due to the weight difference.'

• '1. Its almost as if certain strokes are shying away which is effective.'
• '3. Yes it works well as a set because the adjustments to each letterforms are consistent.'
• '4. yes certain parts of the letters appear as though they are shying away due to how thin the strokes are.'

• '1. I think the shading works well and helps portray 'shy'.'
• '2. I think it would work well as a display font.'
• '3. Very consistent.'
• '4. Yes because of the contrast in thickness.'

• '1. Yes because of the differentiating stem width which reflects the "Hiding Behind" idea. By having the contrast rather than all of it thin, it shows the typeface being scared. Like it is in on itself because of its shyness.'
• '2. Book covers. Children Books.
• '3. Yes theres a clear decision to thin them out certain parts of the letter forms.
• '4. Yes due to the contrast.'

• '1. Yes because parts are hidden, its thinner.'
• '2. Books'
• '3. Yeah but maybe look at the optical view of the 'P & Q'.'
• '4. Yes definitely.'

• '1. It does due to contrasting stems like it is unsure.'
• '2. Posters, movies or bands.'
• '3. Yes the same idea is portrayed throughout.'

This feedback has been very positive towards my typeface which is very good, I feel very happy that my work has been a success, I have tried to create something which is easily recognisable and is also easily relatable to the adjective. This feedback will be used to help with the evaluation for the entire brief.
