Volvox

Volvox by Andrea Tinnes and Martin Perlbach

"Volvox is a five level ornament composing kit... a system of 5 fonts that create a variety o ornamental composites by superimposing...
Volvox is a celebration of the organic, the ornament and the magic of the animation of inanimate forms."

In 2001 Andrea Tinnes released Volvox, which is a system of 5 fonts to be used isolated or as superimposing structures. Each Volvox has a radial symmetry, same width and centre, so they can overlap perfectly. The illustrations were inspired by ‘natural aesthetics of scientific drawings’. The potential of the multiple combinations, together with variations of size, position and color can be found at www.typecuts.com/volvox.
