Typography - Project 2 Week 8 - Week 10 Joseph (0336620) Typography Project 2 - Font Design LECTURE Lecture 8 (Week 8) We weren't given any lecture. We were given time to digitize our fonts. Lecture 9 (Week 9) For this week we were given lectures on paragraph and learned about different terms in a paragraph, such as a pilcrow. INSTRUCTIONS EXERCISE  For this project we were required to design a font (hence the name of the project).
