Tontfont

Tontfont is an environmental typeface drawn on the walls of Tondi military base in Tallinn. It was realized in collaboration with the Tallinn Kristiine Townhall. All letters are based on circular module system which is determined by special spraypaint compass tool “Möriseja” and notorious soviet industry modular “waffle” wall’s block proportions.

Background

First sketches were made in june 2005, when I was still studying in Paris. On a vacation to Estonia I decided to turn my idea into reality. By august the permission from townhall was in my hands. Soon after that together with assistance of Riku, Oliver and Uku we started to draft the skteches on the wall. All together 27 blocks were ruled out and painted.

Thank You: Uku, Riku, Oliver
