A reflection upon the pair words “Light & Heavy” during the typography class by Philip Stamm and Jinsu Ahn at the Basel School of Design HGK FHNW.
The goal was to create a visual narration by only using circles lines and at the end the words “light” and “heavy”.
The added text is the explanation of the similar exercises on basic typograhy explained by the design Emil Ruder and Armin Hofmann.
