Details

Description:
Designed as part of a university project. I studied ornate Circus and Carnival style lettering which often incorporate intricate detailing within the letters. I have attempted to blend a particular lattice pattern with blackletter-style letter forms.

I was wondering when you were going to finished it. Great return and remake. I prefer the new lattice pattern, it's a lot more like your original sketch.
Well that's the uppercase sorted, now you've got the easy job of the lower case and numbers. Which should be a doddle. Excellent work. 10/10

Thanks guys. I think I need to expand on the punctuation front. Any other tips/ideas would be most appreciated.
Cheers.
