A typeface design created as a personal project.

The Challenge


I wanted to design a typeface that blurred the boundaries between type and illustration with a nod to my love of drawing.

 

The Solution

I created the typeface draw, as a personal project, to explore the relationship between illustration and type design.

Because this typeface was meant only for specific applications, the alphabet was limited to lowercase letters only. This meant that words written in the typeface would remain informal and playful.

The letters in the draw typeface were drawn with slight variations in weight and height. This gives the finished typeface a slightly hand-drawn appearance.
