Orca, Minke and Beluga have been designed by Natasha Lucas in collaboration with MuirMcNeil.
Exploring flowing curves within the constraints of modular geometric construction, Orca, Minke and Beluga represent a logical progression of the ideas that Lucas had begun to examine in the type systems she developed and published previously with MuirMcNeil.
They are the latest results of her enduring preoccupation with the complicit relationship between form and emptiness in letters of the latin alphabet. In each of the new designs, as before, Lucas has investigated the ways in which positive and negative spaces can be modulated in a reciprocal harmony to construct the shapes and voids from which letters, words and sentences are made.
