One of my classes is an Alphabet design class. We were asked to find a modern design object, and design a font logo for it. I chose the penny farthing as my object, and I’m naming the font “Ariel” which was the name of the first penny farthing invented by James Starley. I’ll just keep updating this same post with all my sketches and experiments..






This first experiment I cut some paper into circles trying to get a modern look that still mimicked the contrasting circle sizes of the wheels.
