Being a creative designer is often about coming up with unique design solutions. Distorting type in any way, whether it be stretching, squeezing, or slanting, is breaking the laws of typography. It distorts the proportions in a way that destroys the integrity of the letter shapes. It can also reduce legibility by creating a fun-house effect. So in this post we are going to showcase some examples of distorted typography created by amazing designers who broke the rules of typography with outstanding results.
