For this I tried to subtly manipulate the shapes of extended Caslon to make some reference to an arm outline. I found this to be too inconsistent and irrelevant, the curves appear like lumps on the already clean line. Especially in the condensed and extended type, it appears as if the type is disjointed and forced. The final experiment with hands for serifs was more successful, however they are so small it is difficult to interpret and is too subtle. For future designs I will use photographs for reference and make the limbs separate from the fundamental design of Caslon- hopefully making the two harmonious.
