A cape and tights superhero – not my choice, but it felt unavoidable. So I decided to do something typographic. I had an antique gold, italic wooden “h” and made it my center character – in flight with leg tucked, adding stenciled stars to its body. I had the remaining “e,” “r,” and “o” to make a hero with. The lowercase “e” became the head with an eye and proud, smiling mouth. I found an R that, when flipped and modified, became a red cape. But I still had the “o” to place. Nothing felt right about connecting it to the “h”. Then I realized the “her” part could be in flight and the “o” could be the astonished mouth of a spectator.
