Perception is a variable typeface inspired by ink.
As with the coast-line paradox, almost everything in the universe can be looked at with a closer eye to observe the information encoded within. Perception is a typeface exploring the concept of information hidden with existing information.
Created using an image of ink blots translated into their CMYK print layers, the font has variable weight which upon adjustment shifts the halftone pattern within. Depending on the scale of the characters relative to the paper, the font reveals embedded moiré patterns inherent within the data of a wash of ink.
Ink, a medium for inscribing messages for communication has its own voice that must be unearthed in order to be heard.
