Form

If you want to draw great forms in furniture or accessories, start first by drawing the following with pencil and paper:

Helvetica medium 60mm, 20cm height – your name and those of your family or friends for all of these

Univers – same format

Gill Sans – any format

Franklin Gothic heavy

Bodoni

Then talk about form.
