Johnston sketched the design ad chose the typography before Simmons plated and printed the disc. In plain solid white, the fine details and lines of the sculpture stick out and show the attention paid to each line and letter and how all the elements would come together in the 3D typography sculpture. Two [animated sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme) were created (they would rotate on screen showing the front and back of the text.) The first says "The mountains are calling and I must go" while the second has the phrase "When the wolves are silent and the moon is howling." These sculptures show the physical beauty of language and the importance of typography in our lives. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3D Typography Art:** The combination of typography and 3D printing can create visually striking sculptures, offering a new medium for art and design. - **Interactive 3D Typography:** The use of animation technology to create rotating 3D typography sculptures can inspire new ways of visual communication and storytelling. - **Customized 3D Typography:** The ability to customize 3D typography sculptures can offer personalized and unique art pieces for individuals and businesses. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** The combination of 3D printing and typography can bring innovative and unique artworks, creating new opportunities for artists and designers. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Customized 3D typography sculptures can offer a new marketing tool for businesses to creatively display their brand message or products. - **Education and Training:** Using 3D typography art in education and training can enhance visual communication skills and inspire creativity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Flip Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stl-sculptures.md) - [Typography-Inspired Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-industries.md) - [Modular Typography Stamp Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-typography-stamp-set.md) - [Wooden Light-Hearted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-sculpture.md) - [Limited 3D-Printed Ceramic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyadic-series.md) - [Modular Typography Stamp Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockface.md) - [Dynamic Typeface-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orma-chair.md) - [Interactive Typo Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveegolov.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md)
