Rotated Type

Whilst looking at this blog I realised that I only had a print screen from rhino to show the middle step for the 3D characters. I had rotated the a few letters, but I really liked how the whole alphabet looked. I based the grid on that of the existing rhino grid and how I had placed the characters in it. They are not exactly the same as the 3D model, but the grid of each letter has been kept constant, so the result is very similar. The x height is based on a 6×7 grid with 2 squares ascending and descending. Primarily I made the characters black on a white background but decided to invert it as this accentuates what was the negative space, which helps the viewer to interpret each character.
