Eco-Friendly Fonts - New York Times Green Issue (GALLERY)

In a creative and artistic move, the New York Times has commissioned artist Gyongy Laky to sculpt custom-made fonts and graphics for its pre-Earth Day Green Issue. The fonts are made from variou earth-material such as coal and wood, demonstrating that the medium is the message .

According to Inhabita, “Hungarian-born Gyongy Laky has for decades whittled and woven her message into many a surface and landscape. It is no surprise that the New York Times hunted down this revered fiber sculptor to create an eco-interactive text for the GREEN ISSUE’s outline of ‘bolder steps to make your carbon footprint smaller.’ Laky craftily used a range of natural materials and methods to create the magazine’s various sections: ACT, EAT, INVENT, LEARN, LIVE, MOVE, and BUILD. These feature categories cover everything from urban farming to kite-sailing tankers to organic ready-to wear.”
