So I was looking for more typefaces and decided I wanted to try an ultra heavy face. I want to use the heavy face because it will allow me to play with the overprinting. But I couldn't really find anything I liked, one thing led to another and I made this typeface. It's only uppercase and no numbers yet unless I need them. I know this isn't anything original or amazing but I figured drawing it myself would make it a little special.
i made two versions
Regular:
Simplified:
I put them into my hierarchy study. I think this second one looks best. Overall I think it all works well together....? But maybe not, and suggestions on some other possible faces that will work with what I have drawn?
I wanted to call the book "MADE IN" two possible covers:

I think this looks great.
Suits your piece better then light weights that you have been working with.
great great great!!!
nice.
it may be a simple font, but doesn't appear so.
good.
you're on your way...
and having fun too.
good for you.
g.
ill try to do some spreads with this before class
i just noticed both versions of the y are same
one more thing.. i think its great that you drew your own type but make sure it goes with the story. The typography doesn't necessarily feel like China. I know you dont want it to be some cliche asian looking font but i think it should be thinner and a little less playful, especially those chunky serifs. rock on.
i wasnt really trying to make the book feel chinese, im mostly just giving dry stastical information but trying to make it more interesting
