Bekem Script
Design Brief
Create a new typeface based on the classic font, Futura. The design should be based on an understanding of the classic's historic context/intent, distinguishing features, personality and general structure.
Inspiration
My motive behind Bekem was to make a font that contrasted Futura's straight forward and clean personality. The final display is a handwritten font that works against Futura's sharp lines and geometric form with something that's more humorous and light hearted.

Futura (top) and Bekem (bottom) have the same monoline stroke with the same X height. Bekem contrasts Futura with rounded points, round stems and cross bars. Creating a more handwritten, less serious display.
