Billie May's profile

Experimental Type

Using found materials, I constructed a range of letterforms based on the typeface Futura. I wanted my fabrications to resemble the characteristics of Futura, whilst creating another dimension of texture, light
and shade. I created only a few letters of the alphabet in order to work quickly and establish successful results that clearly demonstrate examples of my experimental typeface. In contrast to the geometric, sans serif Futura I also experimented with a more traditional, light serif, Garamond. However, I found that most of my chosen mediums were more effective when using Futura Medium and Extra Bold Condensed as templates.
