Modular Typography: Sharp Western

Sharp Western is the name of a custom modular typeface designed and applied to type-driven posters. In an effort to showcase the typeface’s more western and stylistic qualities, its main presentation is used in a decorative manner for headings, titles and other such purposes.

Typeface

This unique design carries traits of serif typefaces, while also maintaining a decorative and youthful aesthetic that feels refreshing at the same time. To me, Sharp Western combines the old with the new; with decorative qualities for larger headings for themed posters or any other medium.

 

I wanted to make a typeface that stood out and wasn’t really used for simple body text.

Modular Type

I color-coated geometric shapes and used them as parts with the help of a grid of 90-degree squares.
 
This is what I used to construct the typeface.
