More recently, I completed a draft of a type system I've dubbed 'Folk'. I started playing with it back over the summer when I was trying to create some sort of emblem for Future Folk Records (shout out to my boo rod). At this point I think its a bit heavy handed for Future Folk (or for anything?) but I made it and I want to share it/get some feedback. Its not a typeface by any means, if anything it is a framework from which to build off of. Each glyph is like a bent up coat hanger, waiting to be played with, dipped in plaster, or tangled with other coat hangers. Yes, that is how I thought about it. Below are are the letters and then a couple experiments I done with them. The last concept I could imagine being beautiful on a large scale, perhaps as signage, done with inch-thick rope, painted white/orange/grey. Anyone need any signage?
I hope everyone is doing well in their various endeavors.
stay strong,
hunter

i like how all the letters are made from a continuous loop, or two in letters like a, p, o, if you 'untangle' them. they remind me of the command key symbol
you are too cute for words.
i really like the font. reminds me of futuristic cowboys. which is one the coolest things i can think of. and pretty much describes you at times. good self-portrait i guess.
i'm really excited about these sculptural letter forms
keep working on these
