Digitalising font



Similar to Leah Maldonado's process of creating Glyphworld, I traced the figures on Illustrator and then organised them into sections of emotional responses to then associate within the type design.

  • Anxiety - the shapes are unidentifiable, however are all based on tensed hands which suggest personal and individual stress in the character, and reflected by the audience.
  • Disjointed/unease - the shapes collected here are all based on faces, however as they are circles and ovals, their sharp / jagged edges can reflect the idea of unease as it's not flowing/recognisable as a circle which is often used as a comforting shape.
  • Movement - This shape conveys a flow which represents the use of dance as physical and emotional expression within the film.
  • Fear - These jagged shapes convey fear to me as within the illustrations, they are very isolated from the other figures. Their points and corners connote closing in and claustrophobia.
