Isometric Studies

The isometric projection is a device for making 3-dimensional architectural drawings. It can also ‘trick the eye’ as the eye switches the image back and forth between a ‘bird’s’-eye’ (from above) and ‘worm’s-eye’ (from below) view. Simple house forms drawn on an iso-grid appear to spin and fly. A unique font allows this switching to occur in text images. Other images have been drawn on a distorted iso-grid to provide extra dynamism to the spinning and flying.

The Alphabets Project buries each letter of my Isotext font in a mass of lines, shapes and colours then creates five different versions of this disguised alphabet including the original Phoenician. Words and texts using these follow.
