Antithesis is based around the concept of tension between three unequal poles. The three members of the display family relate to each other in a very high visual contrast. The Regular is a rather slabby Serif, the Italic a connected Script and the Bold a rather fat Sans Serif. Each are designed to accompany any of the two others to create design with high visual tension.

In an attempt to create an interdisciplinary work of art, the typeface is being accompanied by a ten minute dance art music film about the Big Bang;).

FF Antithesis was my graduation project for the Type & Media masters at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague where I studied type design in 2010/11.
