Building a Typographic land... Laser cut Helvetica letters from ply wood and clear perspex. Each letter gradually gets smaller as the landscape builds up. My original thoughts came from the Chaos Typeface I made - One minor difference which adds up to create a significant one. These letters shrink by just one millimeter- a tiny change but as it progresses the shape changes dramatically.
Around the outside are the off cuts from the laser cutting process, I thought these were great and didn't want to throw them away! Placing them around the edge forms a 'floor' to surround the landscape... Thinking about promoting this as a life sized typographic land for people to visit! I was also thinking about what the land could be called... the letters could spell it out? From the side it would look like an odd town - from above you would be able to see the letters and the title of the place.
