Currently, I’m working on designing an angular font, initially influenced by Wim Crowel’s grid-based ‘Gridnik’. This font first caught my eye in the context of the Swedish Moderna Museet’s graphic identity. The hard-edges and geometric shapes contrasted with their ‘signature’ logotype is an intriguing combination. The last two letterforms have interesting details on their corners, as if folded. I want to take some of these elements and create a font that is still versatile, and not overly eccentric.
