Experimental letterforms inspired by music.

Pulse is a collection of abstract letterforms, interpreted and inspired by Steve Reich's seminal 1978 album 'Music for 18 Musicians'. Pulse blurs the lines of legibility and functionality, asking viewers to read these letterforms emotionally through form, shape and colour rather than their traditional linguistic function.
