The idea of this typeface came about from my theme of lazy, I first looked at what makes someone lazy looking at the different positions the human form makes when sitting or standing in a lazy way. I then had the idea of a potatoe couch someone who hardly moves around, fat,podgy and takes minimal effort in achiving things. I took pictures of people in these sort of positions to know what sort of shapes I wanted to achieve. My letters have no elements in to make it look even more fatter, they are very blocked,bold and done in a careless way to give more of that lazy impression. I also made the seperation of the letters very small as they are too lazy to even move apart from each. The ways in which I would use this typeface is maybe in fast food industry brands or to be controvertial in healthy foods to make the point of what being lazy will make you into.

The idea of this typeface came from my theme of lazy. I first looked at what makes someone lazy and how the world that we live in today as made us this way. We want to achive minimal effort in all that we do and never want to do things ourselves anymore. From this I came up with the idea of buttons. Buttons are to make our life easier for example instead of pushing the door open we press a button to do this for us, which in my opinion is very lazy. We don't realise these buttons are here making us lazy we just go about our daily life not noticing the difference. I also put the buttons on thier side to give more of that lazy, can't be bothered to stand up feel about it.

Inspired by a lack of hard work, sitting down and laying back. Remove yourself from stress and responsibility. Despite the theme this font arrived from investigation into missing letters, bars, stems and other parts. Experiments drawing with the wrong hand, eyes closed and allowing the pen to do its own thing. 'The new italic'. A font for those who generally cant be bothered.
