Spiral// Spiral

With the form and romantic softness of a wire structure in mind, I developed the typeface SpiralI drew inspiration from the curves and spirals that characterize the pattern of wirework artifacts The result is unconventional and even odd Ancient craftsmanship underlies wirework jewelry There, silver threads and wires are twisted together and they are curved so that they form beautiful patterns and shapes The result I present in a two-part printwork, one that shows the lettering and its design process and the other that illustrates the study, in which I examined the history of the wire structure, the Icelandic national costume and other national costume jewelry.

With the forms and romantic softness of filigree in mind, I developed the typeface Spiral, inspired by the curves and spirals characteristic of filigree patterns. The result is unconventional and even somewhat strange. File free is rooted in ancient craftship. Silver threads and wires are twisted together and shaped to form beautiful patterns and forms. The project is presented in two printed works: one showing the typeface and its design process, the other focusing on the research, exploring the history of filigree, the Icelandic national costume, and related tradition.
