I have created a series of sketches from these images. I have experimented with limiting them down to their simplest form. 

Here are the final set of pictograms

From these drawings, I have created a series of glyphs using pen and paint. I wanted to create a lot of movement. This step allowed me to simplify the forms even more. 

Final Bow typeface

I have created a pattern from the typeface and painted it onto a vase

Final animation video displaying the typeface Bow

I have also experimented with using AI and 3D to push to typeface even further
