Extra Bold Italic Type Foundry is a graduate thesis project that explores the beauty of the in-betweenness and designing beyond the inelastic nature of traditional Latin typeface design. Through 5 typeface proposals, this thesis aims to break the binary nature of typeface design, and not just look at typefaces as vehicles for languages, but also as expressive graphical elements that are legible and intriguing.
