Executant Font

2017

Showcasing the typeface, there is a large lowercase o with two illustrations of clowns holding it up. Next to it is some text to show off the typeface. It reads "El lector del poema és un executant. The reader of the poem is a performer." and has the full upper and lower case alphabets.

Executant is the typeface that I created as my final project for the Type@Cooper Extended program. It is inspired by the written and visual poetry of Barcelona artist, Joan Brossa.
