Unique Handmade Typeface Design

Thank you for the detailed brief. I understand that you need a completely custom typeface created fully by hand, following the exact visual style of your reference image, with no AI generation, auto-tracing, or pre-made glyph libraries involved.

I can assist with:

• Hand-drawn custom glyph development based on your reference style
• Full character set creation (A–Z, numerals, punctuation, extended Latin if required)
• Print optimisation for newspaper readability on low-grade newsprint
• Web optimisation with WOFF/WOFF2 exports
• Kerning, spacing, and hinting adjustments for both print and screen use
• Deliverables in OTF, TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 formats
• Specimen sheets for newspaper layouts and responsive web previews
• Exclusive licensing assurance

Suggested workflow:

1. Initial sketches and visual direction
2. Vector master glyph development
3. Full font compilation and testing
4. Final export and delivery package

Estimated timeline:
• Sketch phase: 4–6 days
• Vector master and glyph expansion: 10–14 days
• Kerning, testing, exports, and specimen creation: 5–7 days

Suggested milestones for the $140 budget:
• Milestone 1 — Initial sketches and concept approval: $40
• Milestone 2 — Vector master and primary glyph set: $60
• Milestone 3 — Final font files, web formats, and specimen PDF: $40

I would first like to review the reference image carefully so I can confirm the exact artistic direction and discuss how closely the
