In the studio session we brought in our cut out 10x10 letters A,B & C higher and lower case in the variations of fonts: Gothic , Block , Roman , Script.

We used one font and placed them underneath a strip of tracing paper.

We recreated the lower and higher case by different styles , eg. The letter higher case C we made as thin as possible and the lower case C we made as thick as possible. For the letter B(higher case) we increased the stem and made the bowl larger so the line was thinner and did the same for the lower case.
