Mimesis

project: Mimesis is an experimental organic typeface
client: Self-initiated
Mimesis is a typographic experiment that plays with the illustrative potential of letterforms.
It is is furthermore an exploration of the relation of ornament and type as well as the dichotomy of organic form and geometric structure.
Instead of beeing rather legible signs, all the letters have turned into autonomous forms, exploring the boundaries of the alphabetic system.
