Strctre




In this project, I looked into how one can build dimension into the typeface. Thus in order to create Strctre, I created a simple 3D grid that will allow the type created from this grid to not be constrained to a 2D surface. In order to further this idea of dimensions, the drastic difference in the thick and thin strokes is added to the design. The end product is an elegant yet futuristic looking typeface.

Poster

For the type posters, I wanted to create a very simple poster with the typography as the main character once again. Keeping it black and white, the only illustrative element on the poster are the lines in different stroke weight used to show the dimensionality and gridding of the typeface.
