Blogless: Blog of Design Less Better.

Alphabeasties

From an alligator made of aaa's to a zebra made of zzz's, the eponymous heroes of the new book Alphabeasties are ingeniously built out of multiple typefaces.

Behold Werner Design Werks‘ nifty recent release: Alphabeasties: and other Amazing Types, a children’s book featuring animals crafted out of typefaces: an alligator set in Volta EF, a dachshund made out of “d”s set in Bauhaus, and so on.

Grain edit (whose post tipped us off) appropriately notes resonances with Bruno Munari’s Alfabetiere.

Alphabeasties: Alligator
Alphabeasties: Octopus
