The letters couldn’t be in the same point size as the typeface isn’t condensed. I realised this typeface did not work so I needed to look for a condensed typeface that is legible and suitable for children.

Withe Gloucester and Helvetica I found some letters were too mature for my age group, the difference of the two types of a etc. So I decided that the most suitable would be Futura Medium Condensed.

I found this typeface also worked well with lower and uppercase in the same point size. It made arranging and aligning my typography much easier using my guides.
