Purrfect Alternative Alphabets

Bethany Lekos Creates an Entire Typeface from Cat Tails

Graphic designer Bethany Lesko has recreated the entire English alphabet using cat's tails. The adorable typeface is constructed using the curls of cute kittens tails and is cleverly named 'Helveticat.'

The typeface combines sharp, aesthetically pleasing design and everyone's favorite animal, so I reckon Bethany is onto a winner here. This quirky and creative typeface will go down a treat with cat ladies everywhere and could even make for a fun way for toddlers to learn their alphabet.

Bethany Lesko is a Brooklyn-based graphic designer who also creates her own range of handmade jewelry. This alphabet soup of cats is sure to earn the graphic designer even more fans. This is just one of example of the impact of cats on Internet culture is being integrated into design.
