Expressive Type

 

I have always been particularly intrigued by the feeling behind Rotersand's song "War on Error" and decided to do a numeric text-based graphic of it for my expressive type final. The message also justified a typeface with a rigidly geometric exterior form and a disintegrating interior element.

Working with script, I also ended up taking a rather simple script form and expanding it to better fit the essence of the word- The added swashes took it quite a long way.
