I have a personal habit for challenging myself and wanting to learn things that I have no idea about. In graphic design, my Achilles heal, among many, is my weakness with the custom creation of good typography. So in mid 2010, I pleaded and clawed my way as an over-tally student into James Montalbano's typeface design class. For 10 weeks we had to design, digitize, kern, and promote a full typeface complete with ligatures, special characters, the whole shebang. I wanted to create a modernist revival of the General Electric logo, the oldest Monogram within the relatively short history of graphic design. I soon found out that creating a near upright vertical connecting script typeface is no novice type designers play-toy, but I loved the blood and sweat all the same.
