This typeface design is a edited version of Pharoan Ultra Bold as it was heavy and bold which gave me more to do with it, the theme of the type is destruction.
I wanted to merge both Deconstructivism and Glitch Art into my typeface. By finalizing my idea I looked at how letters could be morphed by being pulled and pushed, what would it look like if the letter was to be dropped what shapes it could form - instead of taking parts away from it.
'Patty Polk did this and she hated every stitch she did in it.'
My outcome for a UWE project focusing on analogue technologies/processes. My interpretation of this brief caused me to research stitch samplers - especially those made by young children in the 19th and early 20th centuries, which were often charmingly wonky and resentful of being made to create such intricate samplers. My font aims to playfully display the instances of human error and irregularities that are present in hand stitching/embroidery, as well as to replicate as convincingly as possible the look of stitched type.
