After receiving feedback I’ve decided to research into protest signs to better inform my designs as my typeface could be used during protests to draw attention to a certain issue. I plan to develop my ideas inline with common characteristics found within protests posters as well as those featured within communist posters and constructivist type such as straight terminals and high crossbars within certain letterforms as I feel my initial ideas don't effectively represent defiance and are not supported by significant research and therefore don’t accurately portray the powerful and strong personality of the typeface i’m trying to create.
In order to respond further to my feedback I’ve experimented by raising the crossbars within certain letterforms as well as by lengthening the cap height of the typeface which I feel has worked successfully as it allows for increased awareness to be raised to the typeface. I feel these experimentations have worked well and I plan to further develop them in order to create a more successful and legible typeface that can be used on a large scale. I've also taken influence from typography featured on Russian communist posters due to their interesting and defiant characteristics which can be seen in the 'N' of my typeface which I have reflected and manipulated the crossbar in order to avoid conforming to the conventional rules of typography.
