GeoMount is a modernist typeface for the Georgian alphabet driven by Georgian culture. As I am from Georgia, I always try to support my country and enhance its heritage. One of the country's treasures is its own language and script. Throughout my university years I would often try and incorporate my culture into projects or different studies, but when it came to choosing fonts, it always came to a difficult path. There are not many variations of digital Georgian fonts, and I wanted to challenge myself to help digitise Georgian alphabets, as well as trying something I haven't done before (produce a typeface). I wanted the typeface to reflect on the culture. Mountains. Georgia is located in Caucasus mountains and we are proud of it. I used the shape of mountains to sketch out different letters, narrow on top, really wide on the bottom. So, having given little time for the project I decided to choose a specific phrase that would be inspired by Georgian culture and the typeface would be a reflection of it. 'Freedom is only in the mountains' – one of the most popular Georgian phrases. Free spirit and love of freedom is shown in that sentence.
I made specimens that would best show the typeface. As well as poster specimens, I also wanted to try something new and gain skills. So I also made a moving specimen, where letters drawn by me form a mountain.
