Here's what not to do:

--Start an easy fontstruction to pretend you don't have time to do research assignment due last month

--Draw lowercase letters

--Change all letters to have slightly more personality

--Draw uppercase

--Change all lowercase to match the uppercase

--Draw numbers

--Change all uppercase to match numbers

--Change one letter so that it makes better auto-ligature

--Change all letters to have less personality

At this point, who knows how much time has been sunk into doing this "easy" fs and what it started out as. And unoriginal to boot. Forget it. Next!
