Description
In this experimental typeface, the source is the sound of my heartbeat at 86 beats per minute. This heartbeat was recorded onto Melodyne, a pitch-correction software that also presents me with pitch curves. I took those very pitch curves to craft stencils for both myself, and countless others - friends and strangers alike, to use and create typography with it. This resulted in a unique, otherworldly typeface that embraces the signature of my heartbeat.
