»Book Nooks« is a custom typeface for a two-player video game of the same name. In the game the characters need to solve puzzles revolving around word inventories. I wanted the letter forms to relate to each character’s abilities. The first character can conjure up objects through nouns in its inventory, so I assigned the uppercase letters to them and made them bulky and massive. The second character can manipulate in-game objects through adjectives in its inventory. To reflect this connecting, associative ability in the typeface I used geometric shaped sans letters in conjunction with high-contrast serifs for the lowercase alphabet.
