- The combination of artistic sensibilities with rationality -
Meet Poly.
Project Introduction
The goal of this typeface project is to design a typeface for someone.
For my project, it is to design a typeface for Professor Steven Masiclat at Syracuse University.
Approach
Solution: schedule an interview with my professor and ask something that can stand out his personality or some unique features of him; brainstorm according to the features.
My professor is a professor who is responsible for both design and artificial intelligence labs and is very good at design and programming. He describes himself as "logic, happy, and old."
Creative Design process: the concept is to present the artistic sensibilities with rationality in a quest for exploration and the emerging world of artificial intelligence. So, the typeface shows the logic component of the AI world that is inspired by the "polygon," and the name of the typeface "Poly" is the name a nod to "polygon," whose precise, consistent, symmetrical geometry. The glyphs in the typeface are applied to various elements, including arms, titles, and counters. Poly is strong, bold, innovative, and singular like the professor (my client).
