Minimalistic Type Design

This typeface was designed by Philippe Cossette. He created this minimalistic type design by using basic geometric overlays to create complex compound shapes. Each letter is distinct and legible while at the same time being abstract. The typeface is inventive and original. There is a playfulness about it that stimulates the reader. I feel engaged myself even as I read each letter form. I really like that it is so simple, but at the same time so complex. It makes you think, but not too much. This inspires me, because I want my future work to be just as fun and stimulating, all while maintaining a certain level of sophistication.
