Futura + Refrigeration = No serifs, Perfect Circles, and Cold Milk

I made a few magnets to go on our refrigerator and thought why not typographically educational ones? I made one for Helvetica, Garamond, Bodoni, Baskerville, Futura and Avant Garde. I took a picture of the one on Futura they are all the same point size and layout.

The only AIGA chapter close to Clyde is Knoxville. There is not to much is going going on there though, Charlotte is the next closest. I want to create a new chapter for Asheville, but as of right now I don't have the resources to do so. I'm going to research and find the small design firms around Asheville that would be interested.

I've started to try and design my first type face, Its really rough right now because I've only been through one draft for now. I'm looking to perfect it soon. It's geometric, with equal letter width as the cap heights, also with a low x-height. It may or may not work. I'm going to try and make it work and not change up my plan, I'm going try and stick to the equal letter widths with the height even if it does look like crap right now!
