PARASHOT

︎︎︎type design (WIP)

This display typeface was inspired by the hand-lettering in the posters of Abram Games. An initial version of the typeface was used for the identity of Artful Impact, an exhibition of his posters, that I designed and curated in 2019.

MELANOTICA

︎︎︎type design
 (WIP)
A sans serif with a large x-height, soft curves, circular dots, and double story “a” and “g.” The relationship between wide and narrow characters is designed to bring a symmetrical yet organic rhythm.
