Inspired by the starting point 'elegant' , this font was developed looking at the structure of constellations, and how a number of different points can be interpreted into images. The fine, interconnected lines of the typeface reflect the delicate and subtle connotations of the word 'elegant', and it is designed to be used as a display face. the name 'Cassiopeia' is taken from an existing constellation, initially listed in the 2nd century.
My new typeface 'Coup de ruban' represents the beauty of human movement through interpretive dance. I decided to name my elegant font 'ribbon stroke', but in French, as French is seen as a beautiful language. The thin, curved flourishes follow the movements of the dancer Megan Batoon's hands and feet when dancing to her own choreography. The thick strokes represent ballerina ribbon which ground the flourishes to create a bold, yet elegant display font. -Sam
TREETOPS FONT
When I decided to go with the theme ‘Elegant’ for this project I knew that my font must be simplistic, I considered what elegance meant to me personally and came up with the following words, modesty, simplicity and nature. I wanted this font to reflect all of these aspects so I created the tall letters to mimic trees in a forest and simplified each letter to keep it clean, modern and modest.
