Finds its foundations in my previous typeface. Built into this typeface are the notions of economy and the application of single characters for common groupings of letters such as. Etc and frequently used words such as. The, to, for, and, of. The challenge with this typeface was to take some of the theories behind. Apply them to the familiar Latin letterforms and then explore the interaction with the results of subtle changes to the extended shapes. Previous: Typism Book Two. Barry Spencer Design 2014.

Is another ‘thank you via typeface’, like. For gifting me a brush pen during a Melbourne Lettering Club meet up. The typeface was also designed as an exploratory challenge to myself to utilize a more traditional tool, but apply my speculative approach to the letterforms I could create.
