TYPE
ITERATION 1 Bloks
Much like Tetris, these letter forms are buildable and stackable. Hard to read but easy to play with, the average joe wont see a single letter
Rules
This type face was restricted to 2 columns with no breaks in the bars, resulting in the ability to either create some features, or none at all.
Thoughts
At first i felt the blocks frustrating, but then i realized the forms werent meant to be legible and went with it.
ITERATION 2 Miner
This type face is very blocky but more defined, with an overall look that resembles minecraft.
Rules
The grid was set up as 4 columns, and breaks were allowed. I made sure to use gaps of the same size in ltters with holes, and used a consistent stroke for all letters.
Thoughts
Although i felt they were much more legible, after completing iteration 1, i felt they were lacking in the stylistic qualities the previous had.
ITERATION 3 Pix
The grid in this iteration was meant to bridge the gap between my 1st and second iteration, to ad style to a more legible form
Rules
This grid was 3 columns with breaks, i made sure to use a similar aesthetic and continuos spacing throughout the letter forms
Thoughts
I definitly felt i had reached a happy medium, with the exception of a few minor flaws and some rule bending here and there, i think it put the two together nicely.
3 Column Grid
ITERATION 4 Pine
This 5 triangle grid creates a hectic grid that makes a pine tree look.
Rules
This grid was created 5 triangles wide and 6 triangles high, i only used the upside down triangles on defining features.
Thoughts
I still see this as my weakest set, as i did while i was working on it, it is too inconsistent and i think the grid has a lot to do with that.
Triangle Grid
ITERATION 5 Tile
Resembling bathroom tiles, these letter forms are mad up of diamonds and stretched hexagons.
Rules
I made sure all of the characters were the same hight and width, as well as using a comon theme among their diagonals. All letters have one unit of space on either side.
Thoughts
The strongest of the 6 iterations, this one follows specific guidlines and is coherant.
ITERATION 6 Baby Tile
The bathroom tiles had babys, and here they are.
Rules
This grid is the same as the last iteration however i had to follow a different set of rules. The small characters are the same height and tall ones are as tall as capitals.
Thoughts
Not as strong as the last iteration but still follows a set of rules pretty closely, some rules had to be broken to make the letter form work, but otherwise they are uniform.
FIN.
