ZineSelect an object and use Helvetica as a foundation to create letterforms that reflect the unique qualities of the object we choose. Then create a type specimen/zine that highlights the custom letterforms and explores the qualities of the object.
The object I chose to base my typeface off of is the Swan Chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen. I was fascinated by the organic shape of it and the negative spaces the arm rests created.
