Typeface Design for Ofform 3D

From fashion wordmark to modular typeface

Ofform originated as lettering made for a fashion brand wordmark, inspired by the visual effect of folding a strip of textile fabric. That lettering became the basis for a typeface. The design is built on a 7×5 grid with unicase construction—uppercase and lowercase sharing equal height—and contrasts thick stems against thin lines appearing in select glyphs and diacritics.
