Modular Typography
Creating modular typography started off as a fun way to experiment with shapes (and dots and lines), but it soon became apparent that my imagination would need to stretch to continually come up with inventive ways to create. Jonathan Hoefler (Abstract, 2019) anecdotally talks about the creation of a font as “designing oxygen” - text is something that is already used everywhere, and already used by everyone. I understand this mentality, as after G I found myself experimenting more and recovering more from mistakes as I made them. It’s odd to reimagine symbols that I’ve been comfortably using for so many years, but the challenge is certainly refreshing!
