Creating My Own Typeface Part 3 - The Final Design

I have decided to use digital music as a theme for my typeface. The typeface will be bold and precise, and very eligible. all edges in the typeface will be straight representing the two digital states. Any letter bowls for example in the letter B or P will be represented with an analogue waveform of 1 wavelength. See below for some sketches

Digitising the type

I now had a font and a set of rules that I could work from. I have used Photoshop and Illustrator to digitise and design the image. I used the pen tool to design the typeface. see below for my final designs.
