Tate Type

After a wonder around the permanent collection of the Tate Modern, I selected one work as inspiration to base a new typeface on. At least six characters had to be produced in order to show my methodologies of how the letter forms would be created. I choose an oil on canvas entitled 'K VII 1922' by László Moholy-Nagy. I was attracted to the use of geometric shapes and bold lines and saw potential in forming a solid blocky typeface. From the chosen work I made up a universal template to base my characters on. It is very similar to how digital clock numbers are formed.
