Type using shapes




This began as a support project to create a typeface to work with my recycling project. It soon escalated as i discovered an obsession with creating typefaces and finding faults and correcting them. I wanted to see if I could create a typeface which was graphically interesting with only the basic regard for legibility. I enjoyed this small project enough to expand it into a full project to create my own typefaces. The project has given me a chance to understand the discipline it takes to create a successful typeface. In the images there are two which are built from digital shape and one which similarly built from shapes but hand drawn shapes to give the typeface a human element.
