... .--. .-. .. -. --. / -... .-. . .- -.- translated is Spring Break.

This week's inspiration comes via typefaces derived from Morse Code. I am very intrigued by all things code and although Morse is fairly commonplace in today's society, I love to see the integration of it in typeface, art pieces and posters.

This particular post inspires me as a designer because Morse Code, in it's own way, utilizes the bare aspects of letters and numbers in a format that can easily be transmitted through radio frequency, light exchanges, etc. A lot of artists use Morse Code to convey exactly what they want through a level of intrigue and the necessity of work for the viewer.

The first photo is a typeface that took essentials from Morse Code. Once you compare the typeface to the actual letter breakdown of Morse, you can see what elements the designer had in mind when he did this.
