11 x 17 in, 1080 x 1080 px
Created a typeface inspired by thumbtacks in both lower and uppercase sets with three variations of regular or roman, outlined, and extra bold designs. A total of four modules derived from the thumbtack as a visual reference were utilized and manipulated to produce the typeface and its variations.
Developed an animated GIF utilizing “Tack,” a typeface I previously created for my Typography I course, to extend my exploration whilst depicting the form of thumbtacks, as the singular module and inspiration referenced while making the typeface, and its usage.
