This typeface is for my typography project to design my own typeface. It is vaguely geometric; every stroke that would normally be curved has a curved edge to it, and every straight edge uses a flat block or a sharp end. All straight strokes begin with a flat block and end with a point, and all curved strokes begin with a block and in with a curved flourish. The name "Butterknife" was inspired by a group we made in class by grouping together people with similar faces. Ours became the group Buttered Toast. My partner's typeface was reminiscent of retro type and she titled it Toaster. Likewise, I realized the shape of my characters were slightly knife-esque. Thus the Butterknife typeface was born.

        Basically the same as the original Box Cutter but the cap height is lowered so that the x-height is exactly half of the cap height and more of an equal proportion.

              This is pretty much the same typeface as the original Box Cutter design but the corners for the letters where there would be a curve is beveled to make the face a bit smoother.              This is a clone of Box Cutter

                          This is my first typeface for my typography class. Designed purposefully to have a very low x-height in proportion to the cap height, and generally have the same width for each character with certain exceptions. If anyone could give me suggestions on how to create a better uppercase Z, it would be greatly appreciated because I don't like the one that I have.
