Rotting Type Design, Publication2023
Rotting is a typeface that draws inspiration from the literal concept of decay, as observed in both the decomposition of flesh, akin to flesh falling off the bone, and the deterioration of fruit. The design of the fonts mirrors the gradual process of decay, with varying font thicknesses representing different stages of its transformation. Bold fonts symbolize a subject in its vibrant and original state, gradually transitioning into thinner fonts to visually depict the progression as it decays and withers.
