Modular typography
I researched modular typography as it is similar to the concept or rule behind my typeface. My typeface followed the rule of only using 5 shapes to create the form of each letter. Modular typography can be defined as an alphabet constructed from a limited number of shapes.

Roman numerals
Represents the numeric system which originates from Ancient Rome. Remaining the way of writing numbers throughout Europe for a vast amount of time or into the late Middle Ages. The numbers are made from a combining letters from the Latin alphabet. The numerals are used even still today and are commonly also seen on modern day products and or technology such as watches. There is a basic pattern with numerals the symbols, I, V and X are used to represent the numbers 1, 5, and 10 as tally marks or scores. In context Roman numerals also have specific disciplines giving the numerals further context and meaning. For example in chemistry the Roman numerals often are used to denote groups of the periodic table or naming phases of polymorphic crystals I.e. ice. In computing numerals are also used in identifiers that are limited to alphabetic characters by constraints of a programming language. Numerals can also be seen in military unit designation, and often used to distinguish between units and different levels without confusion.
The number 5 is represented by the ‘V’ Roman numeral.
