Exploring 3D shape from earlier character collaging (development work)
BBB
Inspired by the modular and block-like styling of Brutalist architecture, I designed the typeface 'Baxter Building Blocks'. The typeface is displayed in a publication with an accompanying poster series, which explores how each letter is formed through 3D shapes and blocks, combined with relative individual mathematics equations. I cast some letters into concrete and Plaster of Paris models to explore and symbolise the idea of building materials and architecture. The book was printed and bound by hand on 140gsm matte paper, using a running stitch bind and French fold.
