Bollman House Modular Typeface

I created a typeface inspired by Lloyd Wright Jr.’s Henry O. Bollman House (1922), a place I am lucky enough to call my home. For this typeface, I experimented with geometric architecture in a hybrid of Mayan revival and art deco styles. Through an emphasis on geometric patterns and the layering of materials, I want to create depth with color and shapes. My typeface will utilize a color scheme that mimics the design patterns within the house and consistent angles to create letters that stand out and flow with the overall aesthetic.

I hope my typeface can be used in a legible form while still appearing somewhat decorative. The typeface will also function as a collection of stackable shapes that can be combined to make new structures. Each glyph should function on its own and in communication with others. I hope my typeface is visually appealing to all audiences beyond architects, and designers!
