While working on the poster for 2001: A Space Odyssey I began drawing a lot of letters. Specifically, I was doodling names of my family members and I was rapidly filling up a few Field Notes notebooks. As 2015 wound down I thought about challenging myself to create a new letter every day and post it to social media.

These aren't really drop caps in the traditional sense, but rather my first foray into really trying to nail down how to draw a complete alphabet, albeit one that doesn't exactly work as a whole. When this project is finished I should have all 26 capital letters, and numerals 0-9 completed. It's a really fun project so far and it's forcing me to think about what sort of rules I want to apply when I eventually decide to complete a whole typeface. Here are letters A-H, posted every day since January 1, 2016. More to come.
