A subtle change but optically, it seemed the bottom of the 'd' letterform had more weight than the rest of the letterform. I altered the anchor points to ensure a similar line width. I then applied these to other similar letterforms. I read somewhere that when designing a typeface, you should try to avoid repeating letterforms (such as the d) to form a similar letterform (such as the b) simply by rotating / flipping it. However, as this is a fairly geometric typeface and the initial construction took a long time, I decided to avoid this.
This is the final set of lowercase letterforms as of now. I used a random word generator simply to test out different letter combinations. I will now start to explore uppercase letterforms, numerics and a glyph set.
