Samurai

When it comes to creating a font, it sounds easy right? .. Wrong! 
There is a lot of thought that goes in to making a good font. A few things to remember include: consistency, legibility, usage, size, and theme. 
When I started out, I wanted to make a unique font, that wasn't just an illustrated version of my own handwriting. I had no idea what theme of font I wanted to create, even after sketching out several options. I started with a circle and went from there. Using the pen tool, I made other elements that went along with the shape and style of my font. 
I really like the end result. With the crescent shape, it has an Asian style, almost like a Chinese takeout menu.

I am interested to see what you think about it. Please feel free to comment. Thanks!
