Bartology Typeface

Typography / Print

An open newspaper visualizing the custom typeface Bartology.

My Role

I designed a custom typeface based on data including ligatures and common punctuation. I conceptualized, sketched, and formulated a working typeface. I utilized open-source font builders, typographic principles, and data to create each letterform. I adjusted kerning to prioritize common letter combinations and devised unique ligatures to add visual excitement.
