SKETCHES
Orga Nik typeface was inspired by natural (organic) shapes found in the nature like sharp knives (a), animals like horns (b), duck body (c), wings, feathers.
During my sketches I was playing with lowercase format, giving it more natural curves and connecting pieces and also making some of them just one single piece.
INSPIRATION
(a)
I have also found few typefaces (d) during my research that got my attention, they connect very well with my idea of an organic shape.
Funny shapes started to show up like the Y or the Q. On the exercise below, where I used illustrator, I started with the letter O and decided to keep working on lowercase as it connected better with the “organic” “natural” shape I wanted to use.
Sharp and bold, it is easy and pleasant to read. It can be used in different enviroments, from children’s items to the fashion industry. Following the type generation content I have followed step-by-step of each alphabet character, most of the characters were easy to make. I have spent a lot of time working on few of them like letters E,W, K, S and W. THe number 2 was the most challenging for me, and it still need to be improved for my perspective.
“Sharp and bold, it is easy and pleasant to read.”
