Typographic Experiments: Letter F
Continuing with more types...
From fun to futuristic, here are three approaches to the letter F.
So first we have the fun one of course, because it's always better to start with the fun part. The main idea here was to create the illusion of volume and movement through repetition and high contrast.
When it comes to typography, it's always important to keep in mind what makes a letter legible, doesn't matter how experimental it may be, certain elements and dispositions can communicate enough.
As I have probably shared before, lines are one of my favorite visual resources, which takes me to the next one: F with a more classical approach, with many lines to add a touch of depth and constructiveness.
Finally, a more minimal type with horizontal bars floating on the white space, using lines as well but communicating a slightly different feeling, inspired by the aesthetics of retro-futurism..
These are the freestyle explorations around the letter F.
See you soon with more types, lines and shapes!
Thanks for reading! ☺︎
These are really cool, @andrea432 ! Very creative and very well designed :D I can see the letter F in new lights now :D
Wow many thanks for your words @veryspider! :'D so glad you liked them.. I used to give letters for granted before learning typography, but then I saw their true beauty and realized that they can be a very fun topic too :D You definitely encouraged me to make some more <3
These are so cool, love the second one.

Many thanks @solar! :D I must say.. it's one of my favorites too :p
Very cool designs all of them, if i have to choose i ll prefer the second version:)
Thank you @georgeboya! glad you resonated with that one :D
You are very welcome, will you make all the letters as a font?
:D yeah kind of.. I'll be doing the whole alphabet and eventually come up with a font, but for the font I'd like the letters to be clean and simple (for legibility purposes)... so these are like very experimental sketches just to study the anatomy of type..
I see.. It sounds like a lot of work, but even with a small collection of letters you can create simple texts for maybe a cool poster:)
Oh @georgeboya :o that's a great idea! I honestly didn't think of it... but now that you say it... I could work on a poster :D Thank you! Really appreciate your feedback
You are very welcome and I am happy for helping😊😊
