What kind of research should you conduct before beginning to design a font?

What will be an ideal response?


Research for designing a new font should include viewing and studying as many typefaces as possible. Visit the web sites of existing foundries to view their online catalogs and to order their printed catalogs. Go to a library with a good printing collection, and view historical examples. Also, do some brainstorming about what you want your font’s presentation to tell people about it. What sorts of associations and uses might your presentation suggest? Who will see the specimen once produced? What sorts of information about the font will be relevant to them? Are you presenting a single font or a whole type family? How will you distribute your specimen? Does your distribution method lead to any size or weight requirements? What are your cost and time limitations?
