To say Modwood caught our eye is an understatement. This arresting display font is the brainchild of designer and illustrator Adam G., the co-founder and creative director at TRÜF, an LA-based creative branding studio. Adam refers to his visual design style as “messymod” (short for messy modernism), and Modwood might be the perfect embodiment of this combination.
Though Modwood seems to adhere to geometry, it’s also an organic shape-shifter. At times, its letterforms evoke cross-sections of centuries-old trees or blobs of slowly spreading viscous liquid. The eclectic font plays with the edges of legibility, but the eye doesn’t want to look away from Modwood’s Rorschach challenge. Is it architectural or amorphous? Or both?
[Modwood] can be playful, serious, rebellious, tribal, artsy-fartsy or just weird, depending on how you work it.
