Grimm is a decorative blackletter typeface that draws inspiration from the artistic style of Tim Burton and Textura blackletter of northern medieval Europe. Just like with Textura, the overall body width is kept relatively thin while maintaining high contrast between thick and thin strokes. The hairline serifs on the a, i, j, and u as well as the dotted flourishes are a gentle nod to the Tim Burton style. Notable features include sharp, angular counters and thick strokes resembling those made with a chiseled nib. Grimm can be used in (but not limited to) alternative magazine spreads and book covers.
Merriam-Webster defines the word “normal” as “usual or ordinary: not strange.” We as humans want to fit in with our peers. We buy trendy clothes, cut our hair, and act in similar ways to achieve this and to not be labeled different or weird. But what constitutes someone or something as normal? Why is weird bad?
This photo film shows how we as humans react to someone (Matthew Silver) acting in a way that is not considered normal. Notice how the children and animals are the first to interact with this man. They have no preconceived ideas. Some adults eventually let their guards down and join him. In that moment there is acceptance.

I wanted the viewer of my film to feel for a few minutes what depression and anxiety is really like. By projecting images onto a white wall and editing them to unsettling music I created the feeling of discomfort and chaos. This is meant to simulate a combination of depression and anxiety.

New York City is one of the most expensive cities to live in. Everyone wants to save money but not many know where to start or what resources to use. This is where my expertise comes in. Because of this I am basically a professional penny pincher.
