ABOUT MOORE

Moore is a rounded display typeface. This font originated as a custom-designed typeface for a famous exhibition poster by the sculptor Henry Moore at the Tate Gallery in 1968 (18 July - 22 September). The author/designer of this typeface is unknown, the poster may have been designed in-house at the Tate Gallery or commissioned from an external designer. The impact of this typeface immediately struck me as very attractive, its condensed proportions making it possible to compose this kind of short word in a very large way, instantly piquing the viewer's curiosity. Its rounded shapes and highly modular construction ensure that the whole alphabet retains a solid, consistent structure, while retaining a strong sense of originality. The two words that make up the poster gave me a certain number of letters, the modules of which I then used to make an entire alphabet, obviously inventing new shapes and taking a few liberties with certain glyphs. The original version showed a lot of variation in weight from one letter to the next, which may have seemed like mistakes, a lack of consistency in the design, but which instead appeared to me to be something very pleasant to use and to read/see. The essence of this display typeface seemed to me to lie in these details and these little playful inconsistencies, so I decided to keep all these parameters as they were, even accentuating them at times to make a typeface that was very distinctive and easy to use.
