Client: School

Year: 2007

What: Typeface

The brief for this project was to find a typeface and design another one based on that. I decided to use a script typeface called Vitrina by Pablo Medina. I chose it because I liked the method Pablo used to create it. He takes picture of his urban surroundings and bases his design on them.


I created a typeface based on the most prominent thing in my urban surrounding. At that moment it was construcion sites which are seemingly all over the place. It has three "weights" called Ásbjörn, Þorlákur and Haukur.
