This typeface was created using pins and string. I really like how abstract the letter forms are. They maintain legibility, and are very precise and clean letterforms. I also really like that they elude to the letters "WOW" instead of physically including all the letterform body parts. By omitting the counter spaces you can create a much more stimulating play on positive and negative space; plus the viewer is required to look at it a little longer and really dissect it. I'm a big fan of creating type with things other than the computer. By adding a 3D element to your letterforms you can create a whole new level of depth in your work both literally and figuratively. In this particular image the letters are formed out of negative space; this creates interest and an overall tone of fun with this loud typeface. It pops off the page and practically screams "notice me!"
