I experimented with the weight of the letters before making my final letters. I tried out the extremes of bold and light and italic, to see how far I could push the typeface. I found some were too extreme and weren't appropriate.

Above shows my final hand rendered font family.

I scanned in my font family and traced over it in illustrator. This took a long time to do, because I'm not too used to using illustrator. I made some of the edges neater and slightly altered some of the letters to make them more concise. However, I still feel like some of the fonts could be a little more consistent, eg light and italic. Some of the italic letters look like they are also bold.
