KANDINSKY TYPEFACE

Creation of a new font : the «Kandinsky».
It is inspired of the painting «Composition No. 8» of Kandinsky, from 1923.
This character is based on a combination of straight lines and arc of circles, which some part are blackened, as it is in the painting.

The rythm is set by an alternation of parallel and oblique strokes, with some voluntary outracing lines. This brings some dynamism, and a «still in construction» appearance, reference to Kandinsky’s rigorous construction.

This font is presented in a small booklet, showing the handwritten search before scanning, and then the digital creation of the alphabet.
Letters compositions emphasizes the specificity of character, and accompanies texts applications.

Bright red makes black characters vibrate, and energizes the composition.
