Design Principles - Frankenstein Typeface

Single original typefaces produced using individual sections of chosen existing type faces.
By deconstructing original type faces, we were asked to produce a range of letter options that use the same elements of the original typeface but still create extremely original letterforms, below are some of my results.

It actually surprised me how much you could do with certain typefaces, depending where you deconstruct the letter depends on the final outcome of the new letter, and it was quite easy to come up with some interesting shaped letters that may not even have crossed your mind when you first started.






The next step was to take the letters we had created and develop them to create one which is solid and one which is just outlined, this again makes a huge difference to each letter and in some cases clearly suits either solid or outlined better.
