With developing my typeface, I expanded on the notation idea. With my word being suspended, I looked into the suspension of time and how you can suspended time. To which, I looked at music notation and how the different notes played represent different amounts of time. For my typeface, I then took the most simplistic shapes from music notes. I am going to also develop the phonetic concept into my typeface, by creating a rule in which for how many letters the phonetic version of a letter is I will move it upwards by the corresponding amount. For example, the poetic version of 'B' is 'Bee' so I will move it upwards three times.
The response to my typeface and how to improve was:
Make the gapping between the details of the letters consistant
Use curves on all the letterforms, instead of a mix of curves and harsh edges
Make sure the weight and thickness is the same throughout
Place the alphabet phonetically
Place is a specimen, using the music stave, going throughout
Use the idea of 'twinkle twinkle little star' to add the element of song but also because it has the tune of alphabet, creating a more interesting concept
