It's not a trap!
TYPE & TYPESPECIMEN DESIGN
Because the first 2 typefaces I designed were very manual and organic I decided to make a geometric typeface for the third typography project and called it 'It's not a trap'. I designed a typeface with features from typefaces used for traffic sign. I hindered the homogeneity of the typeface by changing the stair-case element that made all the letters move to the left. A few letters of all the letter groups were changed to the right so the typeface would lose its homogeneity. The typespecimen shows these changes through tracing paper.
