Simplified Henna Typeface - Sketches

These are the sketches for my Simpified Henna typeface, minus the numbers 0 - 9 (I'm still working on what those should look like).

Keeping the idea of simplicity and henna in mind, I tried to create forms that weren't entirely too elaborate but were still decorative and would look nice on their own. Sticking to certain parameters, I made sure to use only a limited type of design decorations to encompass the actual typeface. So above you see closed "leaves", small opened "leaves" and large open "leaves" with seems. You also see dots, which are stepped in size from large to small, and a specific "flower" shape used.

Making sure that the elements between the uppercase and lowercase were distinguishable from one another, I may sure the uppercase was the more elaborate of the characters, and the lowercase were to be the most simplistic ones. There are very few decorate leafs or curls on the lowercase and none of them utilize the dots, that was strictly meant for the uppercase characters (and numbering) only.

I also tried my best to make even the number of characters that started with open shapes at the top versus closed shapes at the top for the uppercase, but decided that being lax with those restrictions on the lowercase would better benefit their development since they're already so simplified in comparison to their uppercase counterparts.
