This brief required me to create a printed or digital publication. I chose the printed form and font creation for Kurve SS. The focus was on two methodologies from differing times and communicate the impact of technology in one of five ways.
I chose to look at how blended technologies work in a single brief workflow. From here I chose to narrate and record the process of creating a typeface in Illustrator. I researched two varying practitioners (C86 and Erik Spiekermann) and then recorded my process of creation, from hand-rendered to digital. I also reflected on how error effects the workflow for both methodologies.
Kurve SS is a modular typeface that has been created using two circles, one inside of the other. A modular typeface is an alphabet constructed out of a limited number of shapes or modules. Modular describes any letter assembled from a limited palette of distinct elements, repeated and flipped but not scaled. Typically these elements are geometric and simple in shape — square pixels on a digital display or modernist circles, squares, and lines.
After the project was finished, I later chose to further develop the drawings and vector shapes I created into a real world font. This font can be downloaded here, a small donation the cost of a cheap coffee would also be massively appreciated.
