first attempt




After making my grids i started sketching up a general letter formation. Once i got to 'f' i figured that i had enough to show my lecturer for him to get the general idea. the next day i took them into class and presented.

Apparently my first draft looked a lot like the work of Theo Van Doesburg.

P22 Destijl

The Dutch De Stijl movement (1917-1931) sought to create an art which took abstraction to its logical extreme, as exhibited in the paintings of Piet Mondrian. Inspired by the movement’s philosophy of pure form, P22’s De Stijl set features three rigid, balanced, and angular fonts and a set of geometric extras.

After realising that my lecturer was quite right about the similarities between the two i figured that it would not be an easy task designing a completely unique font.

i decided to start from scratch
