Exploring typographic possibilities.
Exploring typographic possibilities.

Had an impulse idea, so I figure I would post it here in the spirit of this Experiments section.

A few years ago, I wanted to learn more about letterforms of common typefaces in an attempt to have a closer bond with them and to become more aware of thire details and their curves.

Because of the explosion in interest in graphic design as well as the Design-It-Yourself “I Have Photoshop” mentality in our culture, I have been noticing posters and ads abusing the 3D lettering effect, elongating the depth beyond any sense, it’s ridiculous. I want to point that out by extremely exaggerating this effect in a conceptual typeface I call Ridiculous.

Download page for Necessity 1.0 on FontStruct.
1.0 includes: basic alphabet, basic punctuations, hiragana, and katakana. No special alphabet.

It even comes in Japanese hiragana and katakana!



I worked on these a year ago, but finally with the re-launch of the Type Experiments section do I get to post this up. I created these on Fontstruct by Fontshop, and it’s sort of an initial test of Fontstruct’s capabilities.
And the fonts are available for download for free (TrueType only)! Morse Square 1.0. Morse Round 1.0.
