MODIFIED TYPE

The goal of this project was to design a unique display typeface using an existing typeface as a foundation. The challenge was to reinterpret and modernize the original forms, resulting in a fresh and expressive type that feels custom and unavailable in traditional font libraries. Using Glyphs software, the focus was on creating a cohesive set of characters with consistent stylistic qualities, balancing creativity with typographic functionality.

Project Brief

MEDIUM

Verdana Regular, Adobe Illustrator, Glyphs

2025

The process began with sketching herb-inspired shapes, which influenced the final direction of the letterforms. I deconstructed the Verdana typeface into individual glyphs and reimagined them to reflect organic, plant-like forms. This project offered a valuable opportunity to learn new software and experiment with custom type design—resulting in a typeface that is now actively used on this website.
