A series of typographic masks, an ongoing project using one weight, one size of Neue Haas Grotesk. From Behance:
These typographic masks are the result of a graphic exercise based on restrictions, a concept that generally defines the practice of the Spanish designer. Each piece is configured by only four elements: eyes (represented by a fixed pair of circles that never change throughout the whole series), hair, nose and mouth. Printed black onto white paper, the design not only experiments with the shape of letters, numbers and symbols, but also with negative space, with balance and counterbalance, and with composition. In this way, the self-imposed constraints of the project end up building a strong and recognisable outcome.
