Brief: Create a typeface inspired by music. Communicate the essence and inspiration of the chosen design on A3 presentation boards. Characters to include: A-Z / 0-9.

Concept: The concept for this typeface is solidity. I wanted its design to be strong and robust. I decided to focus my typeface on simple high contrast shapes.

Inspiration: Initially based on music speakers, my sketches began to resemble a sprite from Space Invaders, the 1980s video game. By incorporating this idea, I hoped to create a sense of nostalgia and heritage within each character. Even though it's inspired by the 80's, the design is relevant today as modern popular culture continues to draw reference from that era.

Method: I set myself rules and limitations to ensure that the typeface had a desired aesthetic. All the characters started as perfect squares, then pieces were carved out to form the letter. All the lines in the typeface are perfectly straight to add to the retro feel. Indentations to the characters are minimal to keep as much of the square intact to preserve the brick like solidity of the type when viewed as a whole.
