Typography
Monogram
/// Overview
A self-initiated type project: one monogram drawn in five styles, each rebuilt on a grid and finished as a 3D poster.
/// The Challenge
The brief I gave myself was short: make a monogram. Instead of stopping at one answer, I took the same idea through five styles, from strict geometry to something that looks poured.
/// The System
Each version follows one rule you can see in the drawing. The geometric one shares a single stem width between its stems and its diagonal, the script one is one pen-like line with round ends, the modular one is four modules wide and the stencil makes every cut at the same angle. The liquid one keeps a symmetric outer shell, and most of its curves are still circle arcs.
/// The Process
Every version started as an ink sketch, was rebuilt as a vector on a grid in Illustrator and then went into Cinema 4D for its 3D poster.
