Intrigued by the decorative capital letters in story books, the 'Illuminated' typeface delivers so much expression. I thought I would have a go in forming the foliage around the letter with ribbon and leaf shapes. To juxtapose the lettering and scale I put a digital-serif typeface alongside it.
'Lit' is generally to do with the brightness of lighting, which is a play-on-words with the actual name of the typeface 'Illuminated'. However the fact that there are two different fonts and there is also an urban meaning for the term 'lit' (how extraordinary something is), this letter formation displays a shift in time.
