Mr. Elton [Slab Serif Typeface Design]

Mr. Elton, is a Slab Serif typeface designed by and named after myself. It is inspired by sports typography. Originally it was inspired by the letterforms of the Los Angeles Dodgers hat insignia. As research progressed the custom typeface created for The Athletic, an online sports website, served as the foundation for this font. The typeface is featured in a bold weight.
Learning Outcomes:
I learned how to design a typeface. I learned the importance of drawing letterform gestures by hand. I learned how to use Glyphs (app).
My type specimen binder and poster final deliverables.
My type specimen poster pined up for my Font Design 1 final presentation.
