Oxymora Mono
Type Design
2022–23
An experimental typeface that started out as a visual metaphor of the phrase “less is more”. This oxymoron was conceptualised as a variable typeface that becomes gradually more airy and thin the more words are written with it—making the point that often a short statement is also a clearer and, in the most literal sense, bolder one. To help inform my design process I set myself a number of parameters: serifs, mono-space, variable weight, and stencil characteristics.
