During my first semester of studying graphic design at UWE I was briefed to create a digital display typeface that responded to the theme of analogue. After carring out a range of reseach into different areas of analog I decided to focus on screnprinting. Screenprinting is an analogue method of printmaking and it is very common for people to utilise halftones to get a more detailed image. A halftone is a mathmatical dot pattern that represents the grayscale value of colour and are created based on a grid. From here I decided to create a typeface using this halftone method.
First designed for the Rare AF2 event, Rare Art Festival, about most innovative projects in the realm of cryptoart, held in New York:
