Poppy

Font Design

Poppy is inspired by the energetic and playful nature of a playground. As the name suggests, it brings character and expression into a generation of font design that has been geared towards minimalism. The proportions are inspired by old-style, humanistic typefaces like Windsor, but with a more modern twist. It resembles movement and the idea that something is about to happen.

Creating an expressive yet functional typeface like Poppy taught me the importance of attention to detail and cohesiveness. This experience allowed me to gain a greater appreciation for typefaces and how small adjustments can create the overall character and expression of a typeface. It allowed me to be more thoughtful of the use of typefaces and what inspired them.
