Creating a personal typeface along with a type specimen to support it.
My typeface was inspired by Brian Eno's Axis Theory.
My idea behind the typeface is - how getting from one place to another isn't the important part of a walk , but the whole journey/ process of exploring is. This idea was similar to a piece I read about axis theory which said there aren't just two points to describe something (either black or white) but there lies an entire continuum of possibilities ( grey scale) in between.
These two learnings helped me device a process of working , where in I started drawing my alphabets, from one point and ended without lifting my pen, thereby concentrating on the curves (journey) and form in between.

Final Characterset
Typeface that represents the importance of process over the final product.
Type Specimen is a Piece that accurately visually represents the characteristics of a typeface.
Instead of merely showing the characterset of my typeface, I chose to write a phrase in the 'font' that represented it in the most perfect sense.
'Its not about the Destination, its about the Journey"
