To create this experimental typeface, the artist poured black ink onto four by four pieces of paper and directed its flow by blowing through a drinking straw, resulting in a chaotic and natural design. Having little control over where the ink flowed created thin and thick strokes, pointed bowls and jagged ascenders and descenders. The complete alphabet was then scanned, traced, and edited in Adobe Photoshop where it was cleaned up. The phrase “MORBID” was treated with an orange outline and printed onto stickers to be sold 
at a student art gallery.
