I just finished a typography class and am slightly obsessed with typefaces, type design and graphics right now, so I combined all three into this "vintage typebike" design that I made into a large canvas for my craft room.
The vintage bicycle is created using characters from the Garamond typeface. Can you name all the characters and glyphs used?
All characters are either rotated, scaled or reflected. Really, I didn't want to reflect anything, but couldn't get it to work any other way, so there are two reflected characters in the piece.
The design was created in Silhouette Studio and stenciled onto a 20x24 white canvas. I rather enjoyed the rolling e's as I think that gives it a little whimsical fun to the overall look.
