1) draw by hand some glyphs, so you have an objective piece of paper of what
you want 2) search on Internet for a font that looks like what you (think) to want 3) starting from this font, make some modifications of glyphs that you have drawn with fontforge or metapost With fontforge, you can even make countours from images , and with a bit of hack from MetaFont too.
