Provoke
Provoke is a display typeface made with Glyphs app during TypeSchool by 3type. It was designed mostly for magzine and website headlines with strong display. 177 glyphs, multi-language and OpenType support. More to be done.
The idea comes from the logotype of a Japanese Photography magazine Provoke in 1980s. I am quite obsessed with the style of photos at that time, revolutionary and bold,and the visual language of the magazine convey the similar emotion. So I decided to recover it in a special way – make a font.
In TypeSchool, I spent a week learning Glyphs from the very beginning, and complete a rough version in July.
In the next two months, I added lower cases and diacritics to support multiple western languages. A good design always needs iterations and polishes.

There is never an end making a font, which is a complex visual system rather than simply drawing glyphs one by one. I spent much time balancing everything, from stroke shape, the curves, glyphs height, to spacing and kerning.
