Notes
Taktilt is a personal type design project inspired by brutalist typography and modern graphic expression. The goal was to create a typeface with a clear visual character that feels both robust and contemporary. The typeface was developed in two cuts and the process covered everything from early letterforms to a finished digital font. I started by drawing the forms in Illustrator and then developed them in FontForge, working with proportions, spacing and overall balance to create a consistent and usable typeface. The project deepened my understanding of type design and how small formal decisions affect the overall impression and readability.
