Æther Typeface

aether (/ˈiːθər/) also called quintessence (fifth element), is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere.

What started as lettering developed into a typeface and then an a journey.

This type based project was Inspired by the flexibility of water and the mythological celestial element aether. Their roles as conductors, connectors and latent spaces for life and magic and the form of the letters by liquid metals such as gallium and viscous liquids such as honey and wax. The typographic forms of the glyphs play with the representation of surface tension and movement.
