I tried developing my script font inside the keyhole shape and seeing how it would fit into the other shaped key holes. Doing this made me realise that the original shape I was using for the key hole worked best because it gave the largest amount of space and most even proportion of space so that the typography could be all of a similar size and legible. I did like the font with the curls off the end of the letters but it meant that the type had to be squashed up tighter together so the letters had to be smaller and closer together making it less legible.
Here at the top of the page I was experimenting with different shaped keyholes. After putting the type in as shown above I found my original shape worked best because although the other shape is more widely recognised as a keyhole shape I still think the other one will be seen as a keyhole and it works much better with the title in it.
Next I did some further work on my font and created two fonts of my own. The fonts I had used before were simple script fonts that I had designed so I tried designing some more decorative fonts to draw more attention to the title other than what is going on around it. I ended up really liking the first font that I designed on this page (the upper case style) and I did incorporate it within my design but I ended up going back to a font based off the original one I made because this font lost legibility and elements of the detail in the design when the stroke was made thicker and with the stroke thin it got lost behind the other bold elements of the design and make it so the type was no longer the main focus.
