Font Design with Processing
The modular font for Game Night was developed in Processing, inspired by the themes of gaming and digital culture. The design uses a grid-based, geometric structure to create each letterform, echoing the pixelated aesthetic of classic video games. This approach not only gives a retro, nostalgic feel but also aligns with the technological theme of the event.
