Tartan Display
Tartan Display takes its name and form from the synthetic 3M surface used on athletics tracks – transforming motion into type design. Inspired by ovals, straights, and directional shifts, the letterforms embody speed, rhythm, and energy. Designed as a display typeface, it thrives at large scale, with bold curves and graphic clarity best suited for posters and headlines. Every line echoes track running itself – deliberate, disciplined, and precise. My aim was to fuse sport and design into a visual system that feels both dynamic and controlled. In celebrating track geometry, Tartan Display becomes more than a font – it is a typographic tribute to competition, rhythm, and the visual language of movement.
