Project 1 - Part 3 - WAP Font
I created the WAP (War & Peace) font based on the character Colonel Kilgore from the film Apocalypse Now and the Burmese politician Aung San Suu Kyi.
To me, Aung San Suu Kyi speaks in a very English manner, she is a humanitarian and believes in peace and harmony over war and oppression so I chose the font Gill Sans and altered it to incorporate the character of Colonel Kilgore. I did this by extending and sharpening ascenders/descenders to give the font a more aggressive feel and look and also so that the letters when written to form words and sentences they 'stab' and 'attack' one another.
