Walking around Cardiff looking for letterforms opened my eyes to the amount of times different typefaces of different varieties are used in real life context, like shop signs.
It was interesting to be able to go around and observe all the different shop signs and look at whether or not the typeface is suitable for the style or type of shop. It was interesting to identify all the typefaces that we had recently researched, however I did get confused between a few typefaces which are very similar.
Overall I would say I need to carry out more research into it so I’m able to identify different styles and typefaces with ease, so that I will be able to apply them to my work more efficiently.
