Letters of a hypothetical font formed with a dot grid
Some recent typographic study work of mine. I am working with a grid of dots to explore the properties of different letter-forms, the ways in which you can distort letters while still keeping them legible, and the uniformity and pattern of letters within a font. I will be using the above “font” I have created as a template for tangible letters I plan to build (a la Stephen Doyle) out of dowels. Expect photo evidence of that by next week. More explorations in the full article.

playing with height-width ratios and weighing down the base of the letters
