LetGo: An Open Source Typeface
type design
·
motion

A typeface that oscillates between expressive and rigid forms. The original 5 letters were drawn in 2019 as a reflection on the experience of grief. Following its ups, and downs, and occasional returns to normalcy — seen through brush strokes. It was used for reference in the design of a set of digital brushes ( 2021 ) which led to the creation of the experimental and open-source typeface: LetGo Display ( 2023 ). In keeping with the theme of "letting go" the project files were made freely available on Gumroad and have been downloaded over a hundred times.
