Urbana Lnd

Posted on June 10, 2013 by

Designing Urbana Lnd was mostly about looking very closely at something that already exists, extracting parts and transferring them into a new context. I was not even aware that I was designing a font when I first started engaging myself with its forms.

I found them in the road network of London, which is full of beautiful little ornaments when seen from above, It was important to me not to add any streets or change the course of the roads, but allowed myself to leave out streets and proportion the ones I kept.

What I like most about the output is that it shows a very particular design process, which is much more related to exploring than it is to inventing.
