COP 03 / Sinner Typeface

Sinner Typeface is a marriage of design and religious connotations:


 "brutal, neo-classic typeface referencing historic Germanic letterforms and Islamic calligraphy. There is an inherent ugliness to Sinner, much like some of the topics discussed in this issue of Krass Journal. However, there is equally a brazen and valorous tone explored in the content, which was essential to reflect in the typeface.”

It is interesting how a typeface which is inspired by germanic letterforms can become contemporary, which definitely inspires my practice for this module, but also sparks some questions for potential briefs in extended practice.
