Skanda, The House

Please look at the images in expanded view to get the best experience (click on the 1st image & use the > button).

Requirement: A board with the name of the house in Kannada, without any illustrations, but just the word.

Process: To understand the house and design a Kannada font with a similar personality.

I designed a font composed of angled rectangles, to echo the layered rectangular spaces in the house.
Kannada, being a language with predominantly round type faces, incorporating a geometric angle to it was a challenge I enjoyed.
