5 Pieces of design, and my contextual opinion: Oscar Torres Typography


This well known quote by Confucius has been created using wood, not rendered or imposed using software. Oscar has used various typefaces in this piece, and they own serve their own individual purpose, such as how the line dedicated to "Love", where the L descends below the x height of the line as does the ascender of the letter. 










It is evident in this piece of typography how the hierarchy of type has been used to show the meaning of the quote, and to emotively appeal to the audience.
