Samantha Korthof - Year of the Snake Typeface Proposal

I propose to create a typeface with all 26 characters, in both upper and lower case, as well as punctuation. Numbers may be created if time allows. This typeface will be based off of my explorations of Chinese writing systems, specifically those done by hand, with brush and ink. I will attempt to retain this Chinese influence by setting specific guidelines for this typeface, which will be chosen once I have developed a clearer idea of form. For example, I may choose to draw inspiration from the square shape that almost all Chinese characters fit into.

If I had to address a problem with this typeface, it would be the problem of so many awful script typefaces that have already been created. Those typefaces often lack constraint and legibility. I aim to create a brush-written typeface which is usable.
