Task 5 Ideas for a business card

Letter Gothic is a monospaced sans-serif typeface. It was created between 1956 and 1962 by Roger Roberson for IBM in their Lexington plant. It was initially intended to be used in Selectric electric typewriters. It is readable and is recommended for technical documentation and for sheets including columnar data. Gayaneh Bagdasaryan designed a proportional font called New Letter Gothic, based on Letter Gothic, for ParaType.
Letter Gothic was included in Windows 95. It was replaced by Andalé Mono in Windows 98 and in 2001, Windows XP replaced it with Lucida Console.


I want to find a font that feels reflective of me...I am not sure whether to find an 'analytical' looking typeface or a more creative looking one.


Luke inadvertently gave me an idea whilst having a joke at Joe's expense... hopwe Joe does not mind me 'borrowing' his idea...  Its a different typeface and looks squarer than what Joe has produced.
