The Imperfect: A Randomized Typeface

BRIEF: Through a series of workshops, select 1 approach which will be carried over the 3 week project to develop a typeface from. This will be a complete A-Z alphabet which will be presented at the end.

Tutorials with personal tutors will take place across the project, so prepare an early version of the typeface to discuss as well as all documentation throughout the project.

The presentation requires both an A2/A1 printed specimen sheet as well as either a 3D outcome or animated gif demonstrating the type in context, dependent on which is most relevant to the outcome.

Project completed October/November 2017.
