The letter R (Scandinavian typeface development)

Again, applying the angles and sharp edges to different characters of the alphabet. This time I chose "R" This was because I wanted to see how the angles and shafrp edges sould affect the shoulder and counter.

I started with some really rough ideas.


The sharp edges didn't quite work with the R. The sudden cut off corners looked awkward against the very round counter. So I tried using a more rounded approach.

These were more successful. I raised the crossbar/joint and also changed the angle of the leg
