December: Time for tinsel, toys, and typography!

It's been a bit slow at work, so I've been taking the opportunity to play around with some type. This oh-so-serious piece was inspired by one of my favorite sculptors Naum Gabo (honestly, how can you not love a guy with a name like that!). Read some about him here. The aspects of his work I love are his use of geometric shapes and his ability to define space not by using mass but by employing the edges intersecting planes or delicate line webbing.



Typefaces I used for this piece include Quad Ultra, Agrafa hairline, and Error.
