As a Japanese Tama Art University student in the [Department of Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-system), Kanazawa was assigned a project that asked her to create a type of font without relying on her computer. Creating lettering without the help of digital design seems like a tough task, but the 20 year old artist quickly came up with a hair-raising idea. After a friend complained of [leg pain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/any-hair-anywhere), Kanazawa looked at their tangled tresses and the concept was born to twist hair to look like [upper and lower case letters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/letter-pair). Hold your razors writers, the Leg Hair Font may just be your new favorite stubbly substitute for Times New Roman. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hair Font Trend:** Artists and designers are experimenting with hair as a new medium for creating unique and unconventional typeface designs. - **Handcrafted Typeface Trend:** The trend of creating fonts by hand, without relying on digital design, is gaining popularity among artists and designers who seek to express their individuality and creativity. - **Unconventional Font Trend:** Designers are exploring unconventional materials and mediums to create fonts that break away from the traditional digital designs and challenge the status quo. ### Where This Applies - **Graphic Design Industry:** There is an opportunity for graphic designers to push the boundaries of typography and create unique typeface designs using unconventional materials and mediums, like hair. - **Arts and Crafts Industry:** This trend opens up new opportunities for artists and crafters to utilize unconventional materials, like hair, in their creative projects and develop new products for market. - **Fashion and Beauty Industry:** This trend could inspire beauty industry professionals to experiment with body hair as a new medium for hair and makeup designs, and create new products that embrace unconventional beauty standards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky Snack-Inspired Fonts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-other-hand-font.md) - [Creative Ad Responses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiehls-response.md) - [Dynamic Typeface-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orma-chair.md) - [Typography-Inspired Canadian Sweatshirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/okayok.md) - [Functional Block Brick Typewriters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-typewriter.md) - [Modular Typography Stamp Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-typography-stamp-set.md) - [Modular Typography Stamp Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockface.md) - [Unique Real Facial Hair Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollar-shave-club1.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md)
