Caeli characters were drawn with crisp geometric edges at the regular weight to emphasize the transition into a melted letterform.
Yes, Caeli was cast in ice and allowed to melt, giving the font its heavy axis. This process led to a variable font, ranging from Light to Black weights, guided by melting ice from the perspective of expanding water.
Caeli characters were drawn with crisp geometric edges at the regular weight to emphasize the transition into a melted letterform.
As the Weight axis of Caeli increases, the letterforms that were once ice melt and expand to a more ‘bold’ form.
Caeli was developed in five steps: digital rendering; mold-making; ice casts; environment action; re-digitization. While much of the time spent on the fabrication of these developmental stages, much was learned at each step and each required a new knowledge base in order to be implemented effectively.

Sister of ice and snow
I’m coming to you
from the land of my ancestors,
from atolls, sunken volcanoes–undersea descent
of sleeping giants
Sister of ocean and sand,
I welcome you
to the land of my ancestors
–to the land where they sacrificed their lives
to make mine possible
–to the land
of survivors.
I’m coming to you
from the land my ancestors chose.
Aelon Kein Ad,
Marshall Islands,
a country more sea than land.
I welcome you to Kalaallit Nunaat,
Greenland,
the biggest island on earth.
Sister of ice and snow,
I bring with me these shells
that I picked from the shores
of Bikini atoll and Runit Dome
Sister of ocean and sand,
I hold these stones
picked from the shores of Nuuk,
the foundation of the land I call my home.
