Burnout - Research - Anxious

I found this design project based on the feeling of being 'anxious' and how this can be portrayed through a typeface and the general placement of type with images. 


When letterforms are positioned side by side, it's expected and familiar. But when these letters begin to stack on top of each other, everything is suddenly uncomfortable and unsettling. Anxious is an ultra-bold, uppercase typeface designed for display purposes in a vertical orientation. It intends to address the problematic nature of vertical typesetting, which many designers often consider a "type crime".

A type specimen spelling out the mundane things in life that make us all a tiny bit anxious.
