- About Nylon Draylon
- Nylon is based on pre-16th century letterforms. The source material contained many unusual and manic shapes—as if these classical forms had over time, become perverted and demonic. Draylon is a restrained counterpart to Nylon; based on letterforms from 18th century ceramics. Both drawn with a crude digital awkwardness—acknowledging the tool of the computer in the design process, mixing together easily. Nylon's name is an urban myth that DuPont was trying to imbue their new wonder polymer with sophistication; using a conflation of New York and London (NY-Lon). Draylon's name is an intentional misspelling of 'Dralon', the acrylic furnishing material now known for being tacky yet fashionable.
