  • I made this for the last project of my 3rd year as a Graphic Design student at Manchester School of Art (MSoA), which we were briefed to make a display font based on a building of our choice. I chose the brutalist building called The Cultural Centre of the Philippines (CCP), and based the name of the typeface, Sining, which refers to creative expressions such as painting, music, dance, literature, and other artistic activities. It encompasses both the aesthetic rules of art and the creative process itself. Which the building itself is about promoting Filipino arts and culture.

    I've emphasised this top-heavy weight distribution with thin stems (with some exclusions) across the letters since the building was designed to have this "floating volume" style by Leandro V. Locsin (Filipino architect). 

    It's my first time creating a typeface ever, so please leave any of your thoughts below and let me know any advice for any future type projects I make :)
