OC Blimp
Award: Graphite Pencil
Graphite Pencil / Type Design & Lettering / Variable Font / 2024
Blimp is a variable display font designed to surprise and engage users to encourage interaction with words. Controlled by sound, motion, or animation, the three axes enable it to inflate, bobble and float like a balloon.
Taking a cue from childhood dreams it detaches from its earthly constraints, floating gracefully above the baseline on a mission to defy gravity and take aerial typography to new heights.
