PAPER CLIP TYPEFACE
Font Design, 2024.
Simple and stylish, Paper Clip as a typeface simultaneously shifts between a quotidian textual but a quintessential display quality. The seamless line thickness mirrors the staple design philosophy of ultra thin san serifs, matching its soft corners and rounded edges to create an easy-on-the-eyes feel. The simple construction adds to this sensation, mimicking handwriting as if it was written in pen for a meeting. But it distinguishes itself with having noticeable openings, such as in the capital Q or lower case e, sharing a likeness to the standout font Stencil as seen in the Home Depot wordmark. These intentional gaps in conjunction with the aforementioned rounded curves creates a recognizable visual similarity to paper clips in which it is named after. The synthetization of these two philosophies results in the typographical embodiment of business casual, perfect for powerpoint presentation!
