PITHONUS was my first type design project, as a student of the Expert classType design (Artesis Plantijn Hogeschool Antwerpen). The primer goal was to create a display typeface where letters are drawn with vertical stress, uniform width and extreme contrast. In Pithonus one can see an attempt of a modern interpretation of Bodoni’s four basic principles: uniformity of design, sharpness and neatness, good taste, and charm.
