27th letter of the alphabet

Kind of interesting in-class project done in Typography. Using the existing letters of the alphabet as reference, I was tasked to design a 27th letter to the alphabet. For my design, I removed half of the space from the "O" and then added the dot from the letter "i". It looks like some kind of alien symbol you'd find in crop circles.

GRA130: Type Trace 2

Round two with the type tracing. This one took a little less time because I was able to set the kerning via InDesign as oppose to setting it by hand. This trace, I feel, went better than my last attempt.

GRA130: Type Trace Garamond and Baskerville

Can't say this was the most fun/creative project I've done, but certainly harder than you would think. Had to trace each letter from a sheet provided by the professor, make sure each letter is placed on a level line, manually set the kerning so that the characters flow together and then outline and/or fill in the letter. The hatching on "Garamond" was the most time consuming and the most intimidating one.
