Display Font: Negativity

For this project, I was given the phrase, “Where does the light go when the light goes out?” to work with, and right off the bat I knew that I wanted to create a typeface that played with the idea of light and shadow. I was really inspired by typefaces like Gill Sans Shadow, and using the limited shapes of FontStruct, I was able to create my own typeface using the same basic idea of Gill Sans Shadow. Once I had gotten down the basic idea of the typeface, the rest just filled itself in. This typeface works a lot with negative space, and while there are some issues in the kerning of the letters, I was really happy with the translation of my phrase into the shadows of my letters.
