Trilight is a result of my fascination (obsession?) with how the appearance of a typeface can impact on the tactile as well as visual sense to strengthen and guide its impact. It consists of simple block characters with a triple highlight to give the effect of dimension.
I quickly got it into my head how I wanted this font to look and then spent too much time figuring out approaches to render it including creating and capturing 3D characters but, finally relying on my old friend Adobe Illustrator’s tools to create the effect I wanted
The Trilight family consists of both highlighted and solid characters to provide a two color display without the need to convert characters to outline.
