Typographic experiments by Mark Richardson

Mark Richardson, a graphic designer at Superfried, set himself a series of posters: one uppercase letter each, drawn once and then worked over.

The two here are the ampersand and the B. Both sit on grey, built from stacked outlines that make the letterform read as an object with depth rather than a flat sign.

Small lines of type run down the sheet, a tag marks each as part of a blackletter series. The forms keep blackletter weight, cut with cleaner geometry.
