Talking Type Developing Typeface
Designing a typeface based on facial expressions. Idea came from trying to visualise the word "gasp" in letterform. This lead to some research on facial expression and body language - understanding the visual communication of this and using this as the foundational language and visual platform to create the first letterforms.
The visualised outcome would be a collection of individual letterforms, unified by an initial grid made from the beginning. Each letter will hopefully translate into uniquely expressions of which we do ourselves or identify within other people.
