Concentric bands of rust, slate blue and olive wrapped around swollen organic letterforms, like a cross-section through agate. The rings follow every lump and collide into eyes where two shapes meet. Nothing repeats from one character to the next. Strange, glossy and slightly unsettling, in the way the best album art usually is.
Rings Inside Rings
Cut through an agate and you see bands. Cut through these letters and you would see the same thing. Every character is a swollen organic mass wrapped in concentric rings of rust orange, slate blue, olive and bone, so each band follows the lump underneath. Where two lumps meet, the rings collide and form an eye. Because the banding never repeats, no two glyphs share a pattern.
The Metamorph Font Grew Into Shape
The Metamorph Font grew into shape rather than getting drawn. Strokes bulge at the joints and pinch between them, so a letter looks inflated from the inside. Skeleton-wise it stays a fairly plain sans, which is the only reason the whole thing remains readable. Naturally the surface is glossy, so the rings pick up a wet highlight along every crest. Above all, the palette holds together even when a word runs a dozen characters long.
