# Simple Superhuman Fonts The Matt Cohen 'Superhero Alphabet' is Strikingly Minimal By Courtney Scharf | Published 2012-06-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matt-cohens-superhero-alphabet References: [holykaw.alltop](http://holykaw.alltop.com/superhero-alphabet-great-for-little-geek-lear?tu2=1) & [mattcantdraw.deviantart](http://mattcantdraw.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0) The Matt Cohen 'Superhero Alphabet' not only highlights this graphic designer's artistic abilities but his encyclopedic knowledge of [comic book characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains) as well. From Catwoman to [Spiderman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiderman-x-crocs), many famous superhuman figures are featured in this alphabet. Each piece comes with a facial depiction of each character as well as a small excerpt explaining each personality's defining characteristics. Wonderfully minimalist while still retaining the identifying features of each figure, this new-school alphabet is as fun to read as it is to look at. Using complementing color schemes in each depiction as well as some pretty astounding [font design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-other-hand-font), this is an impressive take on teaching the ABCs. Prints of this amazing series would work exceptionally well in children's rooms, and act as a brilliantly designed tribute to some of the most beloved comic book character's of all time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Minimalist Comic Book Fonts:** Opportunity for graphic designers to create innovative minimalist fonts for comic books. - **New-school Alphabets:** Opportunity for educational companies to use new-school alphabets to make learning more fun and interactive. - **Graphic Design in Children's Rooms:** Opportunity for interior design companies to incorporate graphic design elements like minimalist comic book prints into children's rooms. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Graphic Design:** Opportunity for graphic design companies to create minimalist and fun fonts for print and digital media. - **Education:** Opportunity for education companies to use new-school alphabets to make learning more engaging and impactful. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior design companies to incorporate graphic design elements in children's rooms to create a fun and inviting atmosphere. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toddler-Focused Typography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-first-book-of-fancy-letters.md) - [Comic-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-heroes.md) - [Typographic-Inspired Intricate Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glyph-collection.md) - [3D Superhero Block-Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-spiderman-set.md) - [Typography-Inspired Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-industries.md) - [Comic Book Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-heros.md) - [Typography-Inspired Canadian Sweatshirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/okayok.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Pen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flash.md) - [Superhero-Themed DIY Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-lee-batman.md)
