^^Using this as a visual template I decided to go about and create my own fully fledged typeface from it. Here are some pictures of the development process...
The idea behind it is a certain set of rules and heavy use of parallel lines, heavy use of straight lines and stems at an angle/gradient. The gradient is always sloping so it's higher on the left and low on the right. I've made a conscious effort to never implement gradients the opposite ways, even when with certain typefaces it would be easy to do so. I did this so the letters flow properly, and again reading the typeface in context, there's a lot of parallel lines, with the slopes, vertical and horizontal lines.
^^example of the slopes, it's always to the left and never towards the right.
The parallel lines look I was trying to go for with the A and S working together.
Bold version
The guide system I was using, absolute lifesaver!
