Featured Work
MODULAR is an award-winning all-caps display typeface inspired by a previous project “Patterns”. The typeface is an exploration of how primary forms like dots, lines, and shapes can be translated into a typeface. The alphabets are single-weight and are made to hone into the rigid yet fluid nature of the dots, lines, and circles.
