Dementia Typeface

  • Vanessa Mountain

This is a personal project which was inspired by my Grandad Bernard, who suffers from Dementia. For years now he's been unable to write, or even use his hands for basic functions due to hand tremors associated with the disease. Whilst attempting to write, he kept apologising for his handwriting. I didn't want to see it as a negative, but instead chose to document and develop it into a typeface as a permanent momento.
