FORM AND COUNTERFORM Typically when looking at any language, characters are thought to be recognizable through their stroke. However, upon further analysis, the counters of each character are equally as important for recognition. The forms were made by combining two different glyphs of differing fonts. The combinations each have one character functioning as the positive form while the other serves as the negative form. The two characters are meant to work together and highlight each other while being seen in an equal balance. These forms are explored in different media: a book focusing on the CMYK printing process and turning one form into a three dimensional object.
