Flicflac
by Eunji Lee
Flicflac is a typeface that blends geometry with the expressive qualities of handwriting. The project began with a curiosity about the visual tension that emerges when rigid forms encounter the character of handwritten brushstrokes.
The letterforms started as sketches on grid paper, establishing an underlying structure. An actual pen was then used to further explore the forms, allowing brush-like textures to emerge, particularly in the central parts of the strokes.
Flicflac is named after a French onomatopoeic term describing a movement of tapping and brushing. The name reflects the typeface’s formal qualities, where moments of precise contact intersect with the soft texture.
