Poster, 700x1000mm, Graduation project in Kookmin University
Diverse is new typeface as drawing tool. It is consist of 3 style from herbert bayer's "Universal"
Herbert Bayer’s “universal” is a famous modern typeface. It is only consist of “straight line” and “circle”. But It is not really get out of hand writing from old age. nevertheless his concept of typeface is curious untill now. For example 1.geometric foundation 2. each letter, resulting in a synthetic construction of a few basic elements. But limitation of “universal” is that it can’t express various style for universal people. The real meaning of universal is various not just one style. So I proposal new ways to express various style better than “universal”. It is called as “diverse”.
