I am not a Type Designer...


...but, I love typography, so I'm throwing my hat into the type-designer ring.  

Here's the background, my typography professor put a challenge to me, 'create a typeface that is elegant, clean and expressive'. He means expressive in a stark, modern, and modular sort of way.  

Well, it's an assignment, so I can't say no. I'm armed with my love of typography, some background notes on the client, a whole book of gridded graph paper, my MacBook, and this awesome website!

I've got a week, this is my uppercase "F" and lowercase "C".

Take a look and get inspired:
