I was a third-grade student at MKE when we had a font family design task. I did not know much about font design principles, so I chose an existing font to modify. I made unique modifications to R. Hunter Middleton’s (Ludlow Typograph Co., Chicago) Ludlow Eden font family. It is a bold and quite angular serif, and I decided to make it curvier. I liked the result with the curvy-looking baseline of my modified font, but the most interesting modifications were made accidentally. I found the ‘blending’ tool for editing objects in Adobe Illustrator. This tool basically calculates and renders the shape and colour transition between two vector objects based on the previously defined variables by the user. With this tool, I could design a computer-generated abstract font. I named it ‘casque antiqua’ because the curvy shapes reminded me of the old greek warrior helmet. Clearly, it is a modern abstract font.
