Custom Type

Been looking for some inspiration for typeface designs as this is one of the design route's that I've been working on lately for the Ocon brief.

Catalogtree - Monadnock architecture
Catalogtree created a postscript file of the custom typeface of each letter that forms the Monadnock name. (M,O,N,A,DC). This would then be randomly picked and used for printed materials by the architects. I interesting idea of using a typeface and keeping the idea alive and fresh each time it is used. 

Studio Oscar - Stussy 
Quite a relevant piece of type design that is formed out of 3D cubes, printed on a single colour and repeated to produce a pattern. Due to the nature of the the subject that I'm working on for Ocon - which is construction / architecture, I've been experimenting with some 3D shapes, isometric type to reflect the construction aspect of the client. The idea of being able to rework the type into a pattern has also been considered for the Living Space brief as it incorporates interior graphics and signage systems.
