Font Specimen – Dulcet Sans

Dulcet is the first typeface I designed. Dulcet is a Sans Serif Font inspired by Helvetica, a typeface created by Max Miedinger. I created the bone structure of the helvetica font on illustrator and applied different brushes to it. Then I proceeded with the Adobe Illustrator plugin FontSelf, I did the kerning and generated the Open Typefont File. Because of keeping the bone structure of the helvetica font it has a certain similarity to it, but it has some noticeable details, like the playful rounded arcs on some lowercase letters and sharp, pointy endings. The characteristics of my font is the contrast between slight thinner and thicker lines. This typeface can be used for headlines and paragraphs, because it is easily readable.
