For the letter T in my A-Z of Graphic Language, I have chosen perhaps quite an obvious word related to design.

Typography to me is not just a way of presenting words, but also a chance to play with things on a deeper level. Things that the average viewer would be unaware of but to me and people I tell, there is a hidden layer with the choice of typeface I use or design.

This typeface was built up on Times Regular, a typeface used for the Times newspaper and designed to be highly legible when printed on low quality paper. I wanted to give it a new life as something playful and not quite so serious. As it stands I have only created these letters for it, I will develop the whole alphabet when I get the chance.
