Having the idea to create the Swiss style typeface of Futura out of Swiss rolls, we gathered all the ingredients we thought we would need.
Once all of the ingredients were assembled, we were ready to cut out the shapes of Futura using 6 swiss rolls as a grid/x-height to where the letters should ascend and descend.
Having a copy of Futura on a screen close by, I cut out the swiss rolls using my own judgement, into S,W and I shapes, as well as then cutting out an aeroplane symbol.
Using a ruler, I established the width of the letterform so it kept a consistent stroke size throughout.
Once the letters were full cut out, they were ready to be iced to achieve a smooth, clean Swiss style.
