I like your create as development the face typography. Did you try different font colours? Do you know a famous typography in NY her name is Paula Scher? Mostly of her typography work in "the public theater", "Pentagram" and few others. If you don't know Paula and you should research about her. I meet her once at the AGideas'07 in Melbourne, Australia.
