Ringbearer medium Font

Ringbearer medium is the font that was used for "THE LORD OF THE RINGS" title logo.

You can download this font from this site http://www.thehutt.de/tolkien/fonts.html

As a homework for Typography lessons, after identifying the font for the title logo for "THE LORD OF THE RINGS", I did playing with the font in Illustrator that is trying to match the font to the original font image. Following is my done product :P



It was hard to do modifying the 2 letters "L" and "R" to match the original one. "R" is the most difficult part; to deal with this problem, I got to use the pen tool to add extra points and then use direct selection tool to do modifying these points.

After this homework, I now can throughly understand the capability of the two main tools in Illustrator (pen tool and direct selection tool).
