Anatomy & Simplified Henna Typeface - Update

So I'm sincerely bummed, because over the last week I realized I was not going to be able to do my Anatomy typeface as the one I concentrated on for class. It is... entirely too detailed. I got very overzealous with the idea of a really analytic, illustrative type like this and instead of making something doable, I made something that is not able to be accomplished with the amount of time being given. Were the rest of the class dedicated to doing just this, then I would definitely have the time necessary to bring this really kick-ass idea for type to life, but I realistically couldn't do it. Not with the typeface needing to be presented to Nancy today.

So, in a bit of a mad-dash I pulled out my Simplified Henna sketched and began vectoring all of those for today. I'm kind of sleep deprived, but sometimes that's the type of thing you need to do in order to meet deadlines or whatever. I'm excited to see what they look like in this program we're using to make out typeface.

Anyway, here are some images of the vectored characters:



I'm not entirely fond of (woah, should have probably cropped that last image, my bad) how the numbers came out, but that's ok. I can just not... utilize them. Fix them later. Whatever floats my boat, you know? But yeah. I think the lowercase and uppercase letters even themselves out well. So I can't wait to see them in action and hopefully all goes well?
