664a (2017–18)

Gabriel Benderski, a designer in Montevideo, Uruguay, approached me with a project: he’d been looking for various <a>s in a modular design space he’d created and wanted to broaden his search. I wrote code for him that generated all 104,976 permutations of the space as he’d defined it, and from that field he chose the 664 that looked the most like <a>s to him. He’s begun to design a series of artifacts using the <a>s in various ways.

kast_proto2 (2017)

The second series of my modular typeface Kast in cut and folded card stock, freestanding, in two aspects (left and right). The series includes documentary photos and explorations of light and cast shadow, both with letters fully exposed and obscured with paper. The photos also capture my interest in the architectural qualities of these forms.
