The block like structure of the wood and then the spiral effect. I also looked at Wooden table arrangments that resembled wood shavings, like ribbon curls. I wanted a contiuous theme to run through and link all the glyphs together. So i used the ribbon like structure as the backbone to all the uppercase and then serifs to link the Glyffs to each other. There is also a suggestion of movement in the style, as it is italic. I kept the decorative theme as well, to stay true to the concept behind the idea. This is a display font with a limited and definate purpose.The%20idea%20for%20the%20font%20came%20from%20looking%20at%20the%20curves%20in%20Wind%20ornaments.%20The%20block%20like%20structure%20of%20the%20wood%20and%20then%20the%20spiral%20effect.%20I%20also%20looked%20at%20Wooden%20table%20arrangments%20that%20resembled%20wood%20shavings%2C%20like%20ribbon%20curls.%20I%20wanted%20a%20contiuous%20theme%20to%20run%20through%20and%20link%20all%20the%20glyphs%20together.%20So%20i%20used%20the%20ribbon%20like%20structure%20as%20the%20backbone%20to%20all%20the%20uppercase%20and%20then%20serifs%20to%20link%20the%20Glyffs%20to%20each%20other.%20There%20is%20also%20a%20suggestion%20of%20movement%20in%20the%20style%2C%20as%20it%20is%20italic.%20I%20kept%20the%20decorative%20theme%20as%20well%2C%20to%20stay%20true%20to%20the%20concept%20behind%20the%20idea.%20This%20is%20a%20display%20font%20with%20a%20limited%20and%20definate%20purpose.
