After receiving feedback on my initial designs I have decided to conduct further research into protests and signs used within them as my typeface will be used during protests to allow people to get their message across in a legible and powerful way. Consequently I have found that a number of successful signs and posters feature letterforms with high crossbars and x-heights which allows them to be clearly legible whilst making an impact on the audiences due to the tall nature of the type which creates an impression of importance, focusing the audiences attention to the issue at hand. Furthermore use of medium-heavy weighting of the typefaces allows the signs/posters to stand out and attract attention due to their bold and defiant nature. I plan to incorporate these features into my designs in order to further my experimentations.
