Iodine Serif

designed by Giulia Olivieri


Iodine this is Serif font created in a calligraphy workshop where they were first made with Adobe Illustrator and then turned into Glyphs. The name is ' Iodine ', as the element of the periodic table: it keeps the organism in balance, guaranteeing an efficient use of calories, regulating temperature, pressure and heart rate. Just like it, the font also balances various factors such as the sympathy, given by the playful serifs, and the seriousness, given by the Brown regular font from which it derives. 16/ 19,2 pt

THE PROCESS

The procediment to have Iodine Serif typeface starts with Brown regular font.

Iodine

A brush with a 31° angles, 85% of rotondness and a dimension of 6 pt was applyed on the inlines of Brown regular.

The most important step is this: the serifs were created and put in each letters. They were inspired from Archer typeface. 11/13,2 pt

Contrast with straight and curved angles

Perfectly straight forms are in contrast with imperfect and not geometrics one, like in m and h.

vertical stress transitional inclination

The body of letters is always roundend but never the same. Each letter has his personal body, similar to ther other but with peculiar features.

Also m hasn't same body, one is more geometric and the other is more curved


CHARACTERISTIC

That is a Serif type that mix the semplicity of Brown regular and playful serifs. Rounded forms and angles inscribe that typeface and give it a charming touch of peculiarities. 16/18 pt

There is a strange air tonight And I go back home in silence Among the traffic noises and the phone turned off. People look at me but I have nothing true, I just think about it and I already miss my breath I've been looking for this time for a long time. It's been a while since you know that even time is not enough for me I know how much it costs for you, but I'm just looking for a reason. To feel alive and it's not easy. 11/13,2 pt
