Future Tomb

Jamison Lightfoot

Cemeteries contain gravestones from centuries ago, showing crumbling and deterioration, to the modern laser-cut ones, pristine and photorealistic. Gravestones from a hundred years ago have begun to return back to nature, weathered from years of harsh winter, while the graves of the present may remain long past their owner’s death. Furthermore, tombs of the future may exist in binary, devoid of tactility or materiality. This typeface aims to take inspiration from the structure and form of bevelled stone. However, it is brought to the digital and deconstructed, so as to understand the progression of the medium of mortality.
