Hello,
I'm currently attempting to hand letter a logo based off of some faint visual memories of some mid-century modern lettering I've seen through my travels. I'm hoping someone out there can look at what I have so far and point me to some existing typefaces or lettering that evoke this "style" so I may reference them to perfect the whole thing!
I would also love some general feedback and guidance if people are willing to share it!
Thanks!
James
Not exactly what you are asking but this is reminiscent of some of the patterns from the fashion company Orla Kiely.
Why is |Y| shorter than the rest?
I also notice that it takes a while to realize that one is supposed to be reading the black. At first looks I was trying to read the whites and accordingly seeing them as patterns not letters . . .
Thanks for the info everyone...
I've played around with it some and found the optical illusion to be quite effective to help create this...

Yes, and this reminds me of the famous read black or white optical illusion:
