Heresy - 2018
Typeface
I designed this font by hijacking one of the most famous products of Swiss type design, Helvetica.
The typeface is so popular and for so many years that it became a fact of life, much like the forests, the mountains, the rivers we take for granted.
My font is a version of blackletters with a more romantic context. The multiple lines like arranging flowers in a vase and these arrangements created new wave-like shapes. To me is like picking from the wild and creating a new architecture.
'Heresy' is part of the Hacking Helvetica website, where interesting hacks are shared.
