TENSION TYPEFACE DESIGN
Tension © is a typeface inspired by the muscles of the human body and the way that they pull and tense as the movement occurs and emotions are expressed. It focuses on the sinews and texture of the muscle and transforms each letter into its own stretching fibres.
In order to promote the availability of this new typeface a poster has been designed with an exerpt extracted from “Dance”, a poem by Yolande Harley, conveying the the sinews and stretching of the muscles of a dancer as they move.
This work was created as a design solution for a second year student brief.
