Typographic Studies

This "anatomy of a typeface" is both comical on some levels and interesting on
others. It would be interesting to see a title created in this manner.












































This type-experiment is very provocative, with just the right amount or playfulness and readability. It is also very clever.



Judging by photos of his process, this designer apparently tailored his typeface specifically to his logo. This is very interesting to me, as it shows the ability to perfectly balance illustration and type- and isn't that what all designers strive for?




























These two red and white type posters by Kilment Kalchev show what type can become when in its simplest form. Sure, they lose a little bit of readability, but as long as an explanation is present, they both form a typographical puzzle and evolve into graphic elements.

And finally...













































This is a poster by Aron Jancso (copyright 2009). I have no idea what the main part of it says, but I know that I *love* it. It says that it's based on graffiti tag from "the streets," but the linear perfection of it all reminds me of the masterworks in Arabic typography by Abd el Malik Nounouhi (who created the works seen below). I have always wanted to see something even remotely close to Nounouhi's work done in English, and I knew it was possible. I probably should have guessed, but never did, that the solution would stem from graffiti. I would very much like to try something like this.
