"Scrap" Typeface
Scrap is an original typeface built from the 'scraps' of other letterforms, which have been pieced together to echo a post-apocalyptic world. Its mismatched shapes convey a sense of resourcefulness and survival, giving the typeface a gritty, reconstructed character.
Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign
The Design Process
The idea for this typeface was born after being introduced to a game called Stray, where you play as a cat navigating a dystopian, sci-fi world. While Scrap isn’t directly based on the game, it draws inspiration from the same sense of resourcefulness and creativity; the need to build something out of almost nothing, piecing together a new form from the scraps left behind.

Each letter in this typeface was designed using Adobe Illustrator. The compositions below were created in Adobe InDesign to showcase the typeface in its entirety and in use.
