Typography

Hi everyone, this is Jo! 🙂

I’ve always been interested in typography, but have never properly explored it. After doing a quick search on google and pinterest, I found a few that I liked:

Although 3D mediums sometimes make the type hard to decipher, I find myself leaning towards 3D and handmade typography because it comes across as thoughtful and interesting.

I also came across images where the surface on which the type was placed on played a key role in the overall typography. I loved how the respective artists played around and experimented with the medium/surface and used it in a way that very effectively enhanced their message.

All in all, I realised there are endless possibilities when it comes to typography. Besides the actual design of the words itself, there are a lot of additional factors such as the placement, juxtaposition, medium and surface that plays an important role in creating the overall typography as well.
