Optical illusions influence to many aspects of type design. Overshoot, for instance, compensates for the extra white space generated by a curve. Letters are tweaked to overcome the illusion of extra weight wherever two strokes meet. While most typographers’ interests lie in the delicate balance of black and white, I decided to experiment with letters in a slightly different way. What if gestalt principles and color theory illusions were applied directly to letters? These kinds of optical illusions are pretty commonplace, but it’s a lot more fun when letters are added to the mix. Introducing my updated collection of typographic illusions.
