Font project: Tape and Wires



For this project, I had to design a font based on photographs I'd taken. As I'm not much of a photographer, this presented a bit of a problem. Still, I was fortunate enough that my eye was re-caught by some details in a few familiar locations, providing adequate inspiration to continue.



Around uni, around town and around the interior of anywhere I looked, there were dusty spaghetti strands just out of eyeshot, twisting and curling behind every loose panel and up on every undecorated ceiling. They were so ugly, but so interesting, that I couldn't help but start drawing them.



The typeface I came up with as a result could do with a few changed letters here and there, but overall I think it works.
