Doric typeface test 2
Taking the font: Stone Semi Bold, I have distorted the vowels to represent the elongation of words, based on the interviews I conducted in November.
Notably, this was raised by both Norman Harper and Robbie Shepherd when explaining the difference between rural and city based Doric. 'It's a cold day', for example, would be said very slowly: 'it's a 'coooooooooold daaaaaaaaay'.
Not only have I distorted the letterforms using a scanner and movement, but I have also introduced Nordic references (over the lowercase a) and a tilde to indicate vox fluctuation. Bringing the letterforms back into a static and formal environment (rigid font) does not work and will require further development.
