Looking back at the body of work I have created over my last school year, everything refers back to typography. I say it all refers to typography because I am always looking at the infinitely small edge between black and white—between something and nothing. If there is a common element among the typefaces I have created: Hudson, Bllun, Collegiate Institute, and Monoraster, it is in the way I have handled the interaction between black and white. Each typeface has a unique way of handling the edges. Hudson, has rounded terminals, sharp apexes and corners which combined with the matter-of-fact, American-inspired character design creates a friendly but firm voice.

I am slightly obsessed with creating objects/typefaces that on first glance look like they could have been around for years because I am interested in incorporating details noticed from the everyday vernacular. On closer inspection of my typefaces, these small details, while often irregular, create a voice that is unmistakably mine.
