For this assignment, the text that I decided to choose was a poem from Edgar Allan Poe. Edgar Allan Poe was a Poet who lived from 1809-1849. The poem I chose to use is named Dreamland. The poem is written with words and structure used during the 19th century. Because of the context, I want my alphabet to have a natural, materials-based feel to it. If I used a modular method to construct my alphabet, it would feel disconnected to the poem. I want this font to look like it is hand written because back then, they did not have technology like now and I want the ascenders and descenders to have a slight curve. As for the exact size, I need to try out a few sizes to see what is more successful with some feed back.

Jenna: As discussed in class, write specific rules to follow, whether you are using materials or modular-based method. Find concrete visual references if you want to execute the materials-based model you described. For example, an image of old-fashioned handwriting or calligraphy or the detail from the top of a column you described.
