Designed for their 36 DAYS OF TYPE project, these textual photographs by Muokkaa celebrate the beauty of typography. Using ambiguous objects to capture letters, the graphic designers create visual magic and invite others to do the same.
"36 DAYS OF TYPE is a project that invites designers, illustrators and graphic artists to bring their unique vision to the signs that make up our alphabet." These 36 days are meant to encourage a constant dose of creativity without any breaks. Participants in the movement are challenged to design a letter or number each day and to change the way they look at traditional objects.
Muokkaa uses architecture, household objects and other random materials to build their typeface creations that rival pieces of sculptural 3D art.
