ASSIGNMENT: Design an original, useable typeface inspired by and named for a Newhouse professor or staff member, and export it as a working .otf font file.

PROCESS/TASKS: Research, interviews, observation, conceptualization, actual glyph design (including letters, numerals, punctuation marks and symbols) and kerning of letter pairs.

VISION:
INDUSTRIOUS & ANTHONY D'ANGELO
Much like its muse, Industrious is defined by diligence, hard work and perseverance, skills that take impressive patience and dedication to master. A tall, lightweight, sans serif display typeface with fine details that set it apart from others, Industrious is distinct and memorable. Its tall x-height conveys the confidence and competence of a true professional; and its glyphs are precise and clean without flourishes to detract from its streamlined properties, yet driven, energetic and optimistic, just like the world-class PR pro and seasoned educator Industrious honors.

OUTCOME: A working typeface that not only captures the character of its muse but that can be installed and used by anyone.
