My brother creates visual lighting performances. He talks a lot about particles, pointillism and images that are created from light. This led me to start with dots. I started with thick bold letters made up of rows of dots. I wanted to show that the placement of dots was important as it formed the letter. I felt this links to my theme, systematic. From a distance the letterforms however looked uninteresting and basic. I used a previous font as my template. I wanted to push myself and create my own font. It was after this that I saw a singular letterform in the Jigsaw catalogue that inspired me. I changed my idea to single outline of dots to form the letter. Then created another outline around it. Drawing on my original inspirations I can see my typeface being used for signage with lighting, as the dots can be replaced with lights.
