Cutting away from letter forms but still maintaining their legibility could bring an interesting element to a type face. I need to figure out a way to push away from the norm.

I was more interested in the letters formed during the transformation in this animation. As it morph's into the next letter/number it creates some interesting variations on the original.

Looks like it was drawn on an isometric plane. It definitely uses a form of grid as the base of inspiration.

Funnily enough this image is 'stretch' which is the word I was given for the previous task. The above two are much more abstract and seem far less concerned about any legibility issues it may have. This may not be a bad thing though when tackling the word abstract. Legibility should maybe not be my priority concern as it may stifle the creativity and the word abstract in it's purest forms try's to break away from general rule.

Bloob by Erik Erdokozi.  Tri-Face Font - Sean A. Metcalf Keeping in mind the breakdown of abstract and the words shape and form I came across this angular typeface. I'd like to experiment with shapes and filled block areas in my visual work. I particularly like the triangle pattern above which can either be seen as a collection of black triangles or negative space made from triangles in a black square. |
