This is my progress in creating my own typeface which took 14 weeks. After countless sketches, ideations, consultations and revisions, Cryptic was born.
The definition of Cryptic is "mysterious or obscure".
With inspiration from the Art Nouveau period and a bit of influence of goth, i created a typeface which is flamboyant yet tough; mysterious yet bold.

From this experience, I have learnt to experiment and try different alternatives because you might be surprised with the result.
Choosing to create my own typeface seemed extremely daunting at the beginning but I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and created something I can call my own.
Thank you
