Polymorph / Type design

The subject of my thesis is called: „PostpostScript: Letterforms of the future – type design in times of Unicode and OpenType“. The title forshadows that these new technologies gave reason to my work. I made a case, which also was the beginning of my design project: The increasing availability of characters from all over the world, will be reflected in the future type design. So I developed the typesystem „Polymorph“ which is inspired by characters from all over the world. Starting point for my own design was a collection of characters from all over the world, which have the shape of Latin letters.
