Feel the Burn

Feel the Burn is an experimental typeface made from discarded waste produced by a mechanical machine tool. A day-to-day working laser cutter uses selective burning away of material to create precision-cut artwork. The surplus produced is saved in the leftover tray. The offcuts, embers and detritus are collated, digitally scanned and constructed into letter forms. The use of byproducts and speculative production techniques makes the works an ambiguous piece of visual communication.
