Numbers

Stepping away from patterns for a moment I wanted to address the issue of the numbers themselves. In doing research by looking through magazines, newspapers and books I found that numbers tend to be left alone in a boring typeface whilst text has a much bigger range of choice to look at. One place were I found numbers being displayed in a more interesting manor was in the Joe Brown catalogue - which I've spoken about in my sketchbook.

I wanted to show the variety of ways that numbers can be displayed - so I went through all the typefaces that are on my computer and came up with this sheet -
The page is overwhelming to look at, but it's just to demonstrate the variety. This is something I could consider exploring further if I think that the patterns are not the way to go.
