El Punto Font Design & 3D Printing

November 12, 2015

Couldn’t possibly think of a cooler project. For my final typography project, we had to create our own font. I created El Punto which is a display font inspired by western woodblock type used mainly for Mayan influenced designs. The structure is based on hand painted lettering with a western flare which resembles typography found throughout Mexico. We had to 3D print one of our glyphs which was really hard to choose but I’m really happy with how it turned out!
