Austerity Typeface

These are probably the first glimpses of my Austerity Typeface

The original drawings were extremely thin when I compared them to other regular weight fonts so I decided to beef up the thickness when I drew them in Illustrator.
 In these first illustrator drawings the weight of the thin line remained the same. Although I want to use contrast I felt it was too much, and was having a detrimental effect on the legibility, so I started increasing the size of these thinner parts ever so slightly.

This has helped the curves look more pronounced and "there". Before they just faded to nothing.
