FF Blur FF Blur
O ne of the Brody’s most known work is the “FF Blur” typeface that he created and was displayed at the MOMA Arts Museum. The letter forms of the FF Blur type are fuzzy around the edges like an out of focus photograph, seem imperfect, like a copy of a copy grainy and low quality. He has made many more typefaces like Autotrace, Insignia, Industria, and FF Harlem. The font “FF Blur” fits with Neville’s punk influence with the way experimental and new/edgy. The use of computers was new for Neville since he used to make typefaces by hand, but this is what he comes with the use of modern technology and creative ideas. The typeface “FF Blur” was purposely contemporary and bent the rules of typography just like Neville always does with his works. It is meant to look imperfect and used in that way.
