Samples and experiments of Javier Mariscal’s work. I found it quite difficult to create a font from Javier’s work, as he incorprates quite a lot of typography within his art. I decided to do a carbon copy of his fonts, and create a ‘template’ for development.

When designing the font I tried creating the type from the left, like the numbers, however it didn’t work. For example, the letter ‘E’ wouldn’t be noticable or legible. It would be the same for any other letter that had a vertical line at the left. Trial and error allowed me to develop the font shown right.

For example, ‘no place like home’ was creates by candle wax and paint, ‘Blue is just a word’ was created using liquid latex, the right sample peeled off
