Decorative drop caps and figures in a limited palette for the 8th annual 36 Days of Type challenge (2021 edition), where type enthusiasts create a designated figure and post to Instagram. Favorite letters from my "OMG Mom Was Right" project were the inspiration for my set. (Process/inspiration photos at bottom of post.)

Favorite letters from my "OMG Mom Was Right" project were the base for the set. I clipped and compiled screenshots of the letters in Procreate to ensure diversity of style and form in the overall set. Letters from the project also informed the figures zero through nine, as well as bonus ampersand. The screenshots served as the starting point for vectoring in Illustrator.
