Tentacles Typeface

"Tentacles" is a display typeface inspired by the natural forms of the sea. It has grown from a life-long admiration for the East Coast, its shores, and the feeling you get from the ocean's boundless energy. The counter forms of the glyphs mimic the organic forms of jellyfish, tentacles, and coral stems. The development of the letterforms' counters was the focal point of the entire design process. This display type includes the full Latin alphabet and a grouping of punctuation.
