[welcome to my portfolio]

Used throughout this website is Georgia, my favourite typeface. As an ode to Georgia, the first typeface I've ever created is based off the classic typeface. After tracing out a stretched out version of Georgia for a few prototype designs, I decided to turn it into a typeface of its own.

As a twist on the classic design, and admittedly also as a crutch, I used an ellipsoid brush of constant shape, leading to blocky and often dense letterforms. 

Still, for my first typeface, I'm proud of it. It's too heavy for standard type, but I think it can work well as a display font. One day, I hope to make a less dense weight that could be used for standard type.

This one is another personal passion project of mine. It’s the result of me analyzing and reverse engineering the typeface that Tyler, the Creator used for the lyric posters in his most recent album (Don’t Tap The Glass). The scuffed and misaligned letters immediately captured me, and it became an obsession that led to many, many prototypes.

I know it’s a jarring typeface, but the scuffed and raw nature of the letterforms reflects the musical thesis of the album, which I love. It took a lot of problem-solving and frustration to build this font, and the kerning is still a little off compared to the posters. That said, I'm very happy with how it turned out and what it taught me about type design.
