Concept Project

Fault Line

A self-initiated variable typeface exploring fracture as a design axis.

A concept project, created to demonstrate this site's design system — not real client work.

The Brief

A personal project: what if a typeface's variable axis controlled not weight, but how broken the letterform is allowed to look?

The Approach

I designed a two-axis variable font — weight and fracture — and built a specimen site that lets the fracture axis respond to scroll speed.

The Outcome

The specimen became a small case study in its own right, picked up by a handful of type-community link roundups.
