It's incredible to see how a seemingly mundane everyday object like a font could be so creative and inspiring. The Plasma Sf font is a testament to how design can be used to create something unique and captivating. The way the font has been constructed using the form of negative circles, strong blocks and dramatic triangles of light to reference the brutalist architecture of Southbank, London is truly remarkable. It's amazing to see how the font can provide an ever-changing combination of upper and lowercase glyphs. This is truly a work of genius and I'm glad that it has been recognized with an A' Design Award.
