This is the typeface i created for one of my previous units. We were given a questionnaire filled out by someone else in our class, and asked to draw themes from it and create either a unique product or a typeface. One of the main themes i found within the questionnaire i was given was that the person is a worrier. After doing a lot of research into worrying and sifting through medical books, i found that one of the main causes of worrying is a person not being able to show their true inner self, and put on a mask to please others. I decided to explore deconstructing Helvetica to remove all inside and outside aspects of the type to create almost an anti-worrying type. The system i used for cutting the upper case type was:
- Symmetrical type - cut at a diagonal
- Asymmetrical type - cut vertically
For the lower type i cut all the letterforms at a diagonal as there are fewer symmetrical letter forms.
