Bigfoot specimen from Canada Type

An extreme display typeface built around the concept of removing as little as possible from a rectangle until each letter becomes recognisable.

About

Bigfoot originated as a design exercise asking students to think of letterforms as two-dimensional sculptures carved from a rectangle. The result is a typeface of exceptional weight, where counters and white space are reduced to their absolute minimum. It is a conceptual piece as much as a functional one.

Classification

Described as the fattest font ever made, conceived as an exercise in reducing a rectangle to the minimum needed for letterform recognition. Extreme weight is the defining characteristic.
