GRADUATION PROJECT

Inspired by letter shapes from lettering on old cars and the Civilité calligraphy model, I designed a variable font. It contains one axis that affects several parameters at once. This axis, named the speedometer axis, is starting with a bold, backslanted style, in the middle there is an upright lighter style and it is finishing with a slanted and bold style.
