Greek Letterforms
I’ve recently been working on a font similar to Trajan, based off of the letterforms found on the cover of Joy Division’s Closer album. What I thought would be fun would be to add Greek uppercase letters to match, and eventually Cyrillic.
This is not about that font.
But in my research, I came across a super cool Greek inscription that, to my eyes, is heavy metal before metal was heavy (Did that make sense?) I thought that it would be fun to start digitizing this example as well.
I don’t know how many letters I’ll need to build from scratch, but it shouldn’t be too hard, as everything is built out of similar parts. Look for it sometime, uh, whenever.
