TYPEFACE DETAILS
The Surrealist Movement stood for non-rational and bizarre portrayal of the things we see everyday. It was rooted in the idea of reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience so that the world of dreams and fantasies would be joined to the everyday rational world.
With this design, I wanted to challenge what makes a ‘Good Typeface’. Factors like a limited color palette or consistency in type were secondary (without compromising on the legibility). Each letter here is inspired by elements from a specific Surrealist painting. Transforming something familiar with unfamiliar elements is what further enhances the
dream-like visuals Surrealism inspires.
