Free Font Family - Honeycomb Round and Honeycomb Sharp
Important Note:
I do have to mention that Fontself does not provide alternates for glyphs yet and so for the time being, I used other glyphs that aren�t always used under the option + � � and option + shift + � � for my alternates. So just letting you know, it was intentionally on purpose and not a mistake. I made a separate option (marked swash) for others that don�t have illustrator and made a glyph shortcut command chart. Also, I apologize about some of the kerning issues as well. I did the best I could since that particular feature won�t be added until sometime in the near future.

Background Info:
2012 & 2016 | BFA Project / Self-Project: Honeycomb Round and Honeycomb Sharp is a font family derived from nature's splendor and based off of organic and geometric wonders of the honeycomb.
Process:
When I first started this project in the Spring of 2012, I wanted to challenge myself to expand outside of my comfort zone and into unknown territories of creating a typeface. As a challenge, I also wanted to help grow a better understanding and gain confidence that I am capable of completing new skills when the opportunity does arise as a Graphic Designer.
Now that 2016 has come and it has been 4 years since I last touched my project, I was determined to finalize my font creation and put it out there to share with others. To make it happen, I found a new font program that is friendly to Illustrator as an add on (and affordable) called Fontself (still in beta-testing and continuing updating improvements this year) and to use photography and product set up to promote.
Materials:
I mocked it up to promote Honeycomb by using honeycomb, honey, jars in the hexagon shape, a honey dripper, flowers, and bees.
Side Note: Bees were not harm in the making of this project. I found them peacefully under one of my bushes.
Thank You and Enjoy!
Thank you so much for the font!
