Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Type Design & Lettering / Variable Font / 2024
Loud, bright, and exuberantly fun! This variable colour font is a digital interpretation of the bold and boisterous hand-painted lettering seen on Indian trucks. It is an extravaganza of form and colour, with ten distinct styles and shadows that effortlessly oscillate between simple and subtle to over-the-top and ornate. Designed as a modular system with overlapping component shapes and layers, this typeface doesn't just speak; it sings, shouts and honks with its varied styles, colours and dynamic shape-shifting. It is available both as an SVG COLRv1 variable font and as layered colour fonts.
