Ferrofluid Letters 2024

This year's unofficial 36 days of type were again a nice reason to come up with a set of characters and try a new technique. I am using magnets on a triangular grid to manipulate ferrofluid, a magnetic liquid that reacts depending on size, distance and polarity of the magnets. Before I actually used the ferrofluid, I sketched my characters on a triangular grid and created a rough preview on Photoshop. In reality, there are different kinds of structures that made me chose this unusual medium.
