Monkeypox

Typography - 2022

Monkeypox is a typeface that resides in obscurity. Mixed with its satirical flair and its crystal clear visual inaccessibility, it offers a nearly purposeless existence. 

When tasked to create something unique and legible, I decided to do the opposite. This font challenges the disciplines of typography and offers a departure from a rather regulated form of design.

It was with a simple idea, Iā€™d sketch legs and arms from stock imagery of people and make them into a typeface. As I planned, it became abject and unsettling.
