LADI Typeface
2020
:
An asymmetric typeface based on liquid forms, as to
display a high contrast in its imbalance and uncertain curves.
It's name comes from the greek word λάδι meaning "oil", as the
viscous substance was the most recurring reference through the
sketches of the glyphs, which were designed to translate
fluidity, resembling a dense liquid suspended in constant
movement. The form of each letter was an exercise and experiment
on their own on how to trace individual paths for the eye, while
also caring to shape the hollow spaces of the glyphs as
attentively as the letters themselves.
Ladi was my first attempt at making type and it is yet to be completed since there are no numbers yet
and there are symbols still in progress.
