For people who know my type design work, Lithium may appear as one of my more unusual typefaces. This
was my intention, as it was inspired out of another type design experience, but needs to stand on its own.
Just for fun, as a tryout and possible start, I wondered: Could I do a trendy, fashionable design? I chose a
blur-like rounding effect, to achieve a modern, technological-electronic look. I started from an
early variation of my Calcite, but decided to change its shapes into something new and different.
Through my entire series of changes, Lithium became quite a different design standing its own
ground. I like the 'zero' of Adrian Frutiger's OCR B: It's technical, mechanical, but still nice
to the eye. In the same spirit, I wanted to create something not just mechanical-modern,
but more humane.
