By isolating a single letter from each, the focus is on the sculptural quality inherent in the making of a letterform.
Techno without technology.
Long before I owned a computer, in 1991, I created the logo and logotype for the techno club Knowledge, drawn entirely by hand with pencils, rulers, templates, and markers. There were no shortcuts and no Ctrl+Z. If you messed up, you started again on a fresh sheet of paper. The K was inspired by the lightning bolt, the universal warning sign for high voltage, and it became the foundation for a full alphabet. The club's motto, "Knowledge is Power", gave the typeface its name: Is Power. All that electricity, off-grid.
