Ephemeral is a 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 and serifs to it. Then I proceeded with the Adobe Illustrator plugin FontSelf, I did the kerning and generated the Open Typefont file. The characteristics of my font are the thin serifs with a constant width, the bracketed slabs and the round ears. The font has also a slight contrast between thin and thick lines. This font can be used for headlines and paragraphs.
