The Brief: We visited an exhibition called 'The Future Starts Here' at the V&A Museum, London which brought together future technologies and objects of the near future. The brief was to choose an object from the exhibition and create its brand, consider the tech and its intentions, then create a distinct wordmark to form the basis for a brand-new typeface design..
Design Outcome: SilkLeaf is a typeface design inspired by a biodegradable leaf, designed by Julian Melchiorri, which is the first man-made biological leaf. The leaf was thin, translucent, and delicate which inspired my typeface. This has been mentioned in the Fontsmith Blog as a noteworthy design. The final typeface was designed and then developed using fontlab as a working font which can be downloaded here.
