Type Development Process 2 - Subcategories - Rapunzel

The main look of this font is to express hair blowing in the wind. I set my margins up to make the x-height slightly larger then the ascender and descender sections. It needs to look very loose and expressive. In my uppercase section I have experimented with the following subcategories: Stem, Bowl, Diagonal. In the lowercase section I experimented with Descenders, Ascenders, and Shoulders. I also experimented with some numbers. In this exercise I have created more of a consistent look. I imagine that will continue to be refined. I enjoy working with the descenders most and then the ascenders. It is fun to make them expressive and wild.
