Poster design and variable font concept made for the Typographic Design course at Politecnico di Milano, held by prof. Marta Bernstein. The students were asked to conceive a series of posters based on the lyrics of a song. Inspired by the reverberated soundscapes of Slowdive’s music I decided to sketch-up a variable font design system, called

VERB–NGK

, that would expand and contract the letterforms of a desired word. The modes of contraction are inspired by three types of reverb algorythms used in sound synthesis: Spring, Plate and Hall reflections. With this system in mind, three posters were created. The variable font is still under development.
