Designed as part of a university project. I studied ornate Circus and Carnival style lettering which often incorporate intricate detailing within the letters. I have attempted to blend a particular lattice pattern with blackletter-style letter forms.

I was wondering when you were going to finished it. Great return and remake. I prefer the new lattice pattern, it's a lot more like your original sketch.
Well that's the uppercase sorted, now you've got the easy job of the lower case and numbers. Which should be a doddle. Excellent work. 10/10

Thanks guys. I think I need to expand on the punctuation front. Any other tips/ideas would be most appreciated.
Cheers.

A laser-etch onto mahogany as part of some type specimen book development.

super sweet, I relly like the overall letterforms, but that pattern, whooooa!

Question, did you make each letter outline, then make one pattern to copy and overlay each letter onto it, deleting the pattern that fell on the exterior?

I once made an octopus and didn't want to tediously fill it in so I quickly made a large rectangular pattern and did it that way.
