[Task]
For our final task, we were had the option to explore 3 choices of project:
Create a font that is intended to solve a larger problem or meant to be part of a solution in the area of your interest
End result: a complete generated font (.ttf) with applications.
OR
Explore the use of an existing letterform in an area of interest, understand its existing relationship, identify areas that could be improved upon, explore possible solutions or combinations that may add value to the existing letterform / lettering.
End result: a complete generated font (.ttf) with applications.
OR
Experimental For your idea to qualify as an experiment it must be
novel and unique — working with material that might be 3-dimensional, digitally augmented, edible, unusual, typographic music video or fine art.
End result: defined by student.

At first, I have chosen to proceed with Idea #2. Then Mr Vinod suggested I turn the indigenous motifs and create them into typographic ornaments instead of letters.
