CHALLENGE
Create an unconventional bitmap typeface and make it three dimensional. The typeface, which is to be used by Compile Magazine, is to have a modern and peaceful look.
APPROACH
Inspired from nature and architecture and bound by typographic rules, the letterforms took their shape. Using Starbursts as the pixel, “compile” was built up through color.
SOLUTION
By contrasting the square pixels with the organic shapes they produce, a balanced, yet natural feel is achieved.
The result is Zenway.
