I wanted to look closer at expansion in type. I decided to base my project on experiments and ways to use a tool, the pointed nib pen as a starting point for ideas and concepts for designing the shapes and idiom of the characters. An important factor in this project was to do everything by hand. No computer. To practice and learn from repetition. The point of this self formulated assignment was not to have a finished typeface ready for use, but to have time to play and investigate in the first part of the process, where the ideas and concepts derive. Problem Statement "By investigating the word "expansion" in a type design context I wish to show variations of concepts for display typefaces that take a starting point in the idiom of the pointed nib pen." Pointed nib pen Practice in classical use of the pointed nib pen. Running and interrupted. <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb2_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb2_o.jpg" data-mid="13724449" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb3_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb3_o.jpg" data-mid="13724454" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb4_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb4_o.jpg" data-mid="13724457" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb5_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb5_o.jpg" data-mid="13724459" border="0" align="left"/> Process pointed nib pen, brush and filt pen. By not only applying pressure on downstrokes as the pointed nib pen traditionally does I wanted to try to test putting pressure on upstrokes, on curves and other untraditional places. It was a challenge because the aesthetics were not pleasing. I decided to move on in my process, as placing the pressure on random places made it hard to tell the characters apart from each other, and also gave a very uneven rhythm. As the pointed nib pen and it´s references made it hard to steer away from the classical calligraphic traditional I decided to also use tools like filt pen and brush. <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb6_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb6_o.jpg" data-mid="13724462" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb7_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb7_o.jpg" data-mid="13724468" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb8_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb8_o.jpg" data-mid="13724469" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb10_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb10_o.jpg" data-mid="13724478" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb11_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb11_o.jpg" data-mid="13724482" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb12_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2699443/bachelorweb12_o.jpg" data-mid="13724486" border="0" align="left"/> A more structured way of sketching From experiments and by trying and failing I chose to make three different concepts and try to visualise the idiom of the three typeface, still in rough sketches. #1 Translation.working with the idiom of the pointed nib pen , but without using curves, swashes or other organic shapes.

I decided to work with a slab serif, with the starting point being that the Slab serif category is a very wide and open category that contains typefaces with all different kinds of idioms. It is designed to be used as most traditional slab serifs as a display typeface. The idea was to start with a simple monoline skeleton and from experiments and tryouts find a design solution that would set it apart from a traditional slab serif. <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web13_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web13_o.jpg" data-mid="13723779" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web2_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web2_o.jpg" data-mid="13723756" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web3_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web3_o.jpg" data-mid="13723758" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web4_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web4_o.jpg" data-mid="13723761" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web5_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web5_o.jpg" data-mid="13723763" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web6_900.jpg" width="900" height="636" width_o="900" height_o="636" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/6/195463/2701135/web6_o.jpg" data-mid="13723765" border="0" align="left"/> The horisontal serifs give direction, and lead the eye while reading, without the interfearance of any vertical serifs Sketching The idea was to "turn" the serif around.
