Creating a display typeface inspired by the forms of horn instruments
Perinet is a display typeface developed through an exploration of expressive and ornamental letterforms. Its structure draws inspiration from the curves and fluid forms of horn instruments, particularly the French horn.
Role: Form study, Concept Development and Type Design
Tools used : Illustrator

Brief / Context
Through this project I wanted to explore how the structural and visual rhythm of these instruments could translate into letterforms, focusing on curves, coils, and the continuity of line.
The challenge lay in balancing ornamentation with legibility, ensuring that the typeface retained both its musical expressiveness and functional clarity enough for a display typeface.

Final Design
The resulting typeface, Perinet, embodies a sense of movement and resonance with each letter carrying the feel of and trying to emulate the instrument’s circular flow.
