Letter Form Study

Figure Ground Reversal

 I started this project by looking for bold typefaces since it would be difficult to achieve figure ground reversal with a light font.

 Most of the project was trial and error. I would find a typeface I enjoyed and started typing letters until I saw an interesting curve or shape. Then I would scale the letter up, place it in my frame, and experiment with the placement. 

Some of these succeeded while others didn't but in the end I came up with two satisfactory designs.
