Abbey Sans Development

In developing this typeface, the main concern has been style and continuity; basic curves and shapes were established when creating the first few letters, and now it’s a case of replicating those for appropriate letterforms which share the same strokes. 


Looking at the typographical work of psychedelic designers such as Wes Wilson has been helpful because looking at some of the typefaces he has made, they are all undoubtedly part of a set, carrying similar shapes. While this typeface needs to be a bit more readable and contemporary, elements like this can be applied subtly. Its also helpful to look at the form of his typography and get a feel for the style.
