Take a stroll down logo lane at The Evolution of The Logo – Smashing Magazine.

The Making of Vesper | i love typography, the typography and fonts blog

Vesper's two phases (from ilovetypography.com)
How are fonts designed? What are the steps and decisions a font designer must make to create a really vibrant and successful font? As someone who recently started enjoying fonts, I’ve never really considered these questions, until now. On the i love typography website (one of my favorite blogs and websites), Rob Keller, of Mota Italic, describes The Making of Vesper, broken down into two phases of his design process as he created a new font, Vesper: The first phase, comprising the Regular, Devanagari, Heavy, and Italic, was completed during his stint at the Masters in Arts, Typographic Design, at the University of Reading. After completing the MA, Rob completed the font’s remaining weights and revised the existing weights.
He provided some interesting details about the process and how he made some design decisions throughout, all of which have a real bearing on the final result.
