Moving on from my first experiments with a square, circle and triangle I decided to explore how letterforms can be influenced by the grid used to form them. I limited myself to working by hand using an isometric grid, marker pen and scissors. I first created a set of shapes based on the grid and then explored their forms by construction an alphabet.
Though there are many overly abstract and awkward forms produced in this experiment it did teach me that the most exciting components to work with were the more awkward shaped ones. The more awkward the shape the more my brain needed to engage to consider how it should be placed.
