Blipset Mono (2020)
Type design![](https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c21063a072c06dc49bcb109fec598d77dac366ff463d71171e2b61cde2a92b25/blipsetmonocover2-copy.jpg)
Blipset Mono is a custom typeface born out of a desire to distill the organic nature of letters into a structured form. I was inspired by the aesthetics of heat maps and neural network diagrams, finding them to be fascinating ways of visualising data. With Blipset Mono, I attempted to draw attention to the more ‘energetic’ parts of individual letters, in a similar way that heat maps visualise areas of greatest activity.
