Project: Spin typography
Creatd by: Deborah Ranzetta
Spin takes inspiration from the simplified, geometric forms and angles of Bauhaus typography, and the V&A lino prints of illustrator James Brown. I challenged myself to create an alphabet that relied on a simple formula - one set of shapes first printed, then rotated and printed again to form each character. A rigid, mathematical experiment, but with unpredictable, happy accidents of form and colour. The intention of this personal project is to manually print the alphabet using traditional means such as screen printing and lino printing, where only one screen/linocut would be required for each letter. So far it has appeared in Fedrigoni 365; a global poster campaign for Fight For Kindness, and was presented to the monthly type gathering TypeThursday London.
Thanks for looking!
