In this project we were tasked with using letterforms in different typefaces to create dynamic compositions with figure/ground reversal. Each image is composed of six squares, each with the same letter in the same typeface. Goals of this project include the ability to better visualize these letterforms and their elements, and get familiar with the characteristics of different typefaces.
