A Year in Typography
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.
Final School Project
Monoraster
Monoraster was the first project in my final year thesis project: A Year in Typography. Monoraster is new way of setting type digitally which was discovered after engaging in a three month long research period detailed in Workshop Research. What Monoraster allows the user to do is set images of letters rather than having to create sharp vectors. The images of the letters can have texture, colour and everything else possible with a raster image. The actual design of the typeface for this particular example of type set with Monoraster is my answer to a question I had: why hasn’t there been a sign painter inspired monospaced typeface?
Monoraster is written as a script for Scriptographer for use in Adobe Illustrator.
