Miss Marple is a revival text typeface based on Römische Antiqua by Genzsch & Heyse. The making of this typeface was eye opening on how many details you have to put attention to when it comes to type design. Seeing letters as a system and avoiding to fall in love with a character in specific because some changes had to be made along the way to make it work as a whole. The original had many inconsistencies but after reaching ou`t for feedback and the guidance from my teachers I made it work. It’s definetly not perfect but it was a great start in my type design adventure.
