Phyllotexty
2022
Typeface Design
Phyllotexty is a drop cap type design inspired by the silhouette of trees and leaf patterns observed from the botanic gardens. There is careful consideration of the arrangement of leaves on the stems (hence the wordplay on phyllotaxy - the arrangement of leaves around the stem) that form the type designs such that the different alphabets are coherent. The organic forms of the leaf pattern designs are to mimic the silhouettes that form the backbone of the scenery from the perspective of one looking up towards trees from afar in the botanic gardens.
