Assignment: play with letterforms

In 2012, Monotype asked me to help promote the new typeface Metro Nova, designed by Toshi Omagari. Metro Nova is a re-intrepretation of the fontMetro, drawn and cut in 1929 by none other than the artist who coined the term “graphic design”: William Addison Dwiggins.
Playing with these letterforms was truly a designer’s dream. For weeks, I made countless compositions and fictional products to illustrate uses of the font.
Monotype encouraged me to continue designing type usage compositions with other font families. This was simply pure, uncluttered fun.
