Designing Typeface

Currently I'm designing a typeface! I'm using a software called Type Tool and it's going to be an actual Open Type Font that can be downloaded and to be used in both Mac and Windows. So when it's done you can use it too! Isn't it exciting?
This is the last project of the year and I'm enjoying the process a lot. It involves tweaking of so many small bits and it certainly is a good practice for paying attention to detail. I'm creating a display typeface, something that can be used for titles and captions.

Followings are some pages from my sketch book.
