One of the ideas I had behind self-identity was handwriting. One of the things people look for when they identify people is their handwriting, as it’s a very unique aspect of someone.  I decided to create my own typeface based off of my own handwriting. 

I wrote out many times the alphabet and used the most aesthetically pleasing letters. I wanted to create something that was uniquely me, and through some basic knowledge of creating typefaces from previous projects, I was able to create Emahmaii Handwritten. I was able to create it to be a completely workable typeface. I originally wanted to incorporate it with the fingerprints and as graphical elements over/under the photographs. I didn’t end up using the typeface through my imagery but have used it through this exegesis as my header typeface.
