I have discovered my new favourite place to get Type inspiration from, The Chic Type Blog. It is a blog created by a graphic designer and type enthusiast which includes different categories of type which she researched from other graphic typography designers. I absolutely love her blog and found lots of work I want to use as a starting point for my own type.

I love the serif fonts that have large swashs’ creating that elegant and relaxing look, just like these examples she has on her blog:

I then found this work by Joseph Alessio called Tooling Around. He formed each letter of the alphabet out of metal materials, however I noticed they were all San Serif fonts. This made me wonder if i could create a typeface made out of a strong metalic material that looks tough, but create an elegance about it using swashs’ on my typeface like the above fonts.
