# Edible Alphabet Typography Tommy Perez Makes a Food Alphabet to Teach His Daughter the ABC's By M | Published 2014-07-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tommy-perez References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/3032524/designer-dad-teaches-his-2-year-old-daughter-about-typography-with-edible-abcs?partner=rss) & [tommyperezdesign](http://www.tommyperezdesign.com/) Graphic designer and illustrator Tommy Perez recreates the [ABC's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-to-zinc-oxide) using popular food items in a creative attempt to [teach his daughter the alphabet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alfabird). The idea was that if his two-year-old daughter could remember the types of food the letters were made out of, she'd have a better chance at remembering how to recite the alphabet. For Perez, the alphabet is something he interacts with on a day-to-day basis. Designing posters and fonts is part of Perez's day job so when it came time for Perez to help his daughter learn the alphabet it only made sense to use [typography as a learning method](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orma-chair). Moving from letter 'A' all the way to letter 'Z,' Perez paired up popular food items to its corresponding letters to create these fun edible ABC's. For example, the letter 'K' is spelt out using kale leaves and the letter 'G' is spelled out using granola. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Food-based Learning:** The use of food items in teaching methods creates engaging and memorable learning experiences. - **Creative Typography:** Incorporating unconventional materials, such as food, into typography design offers new avenues for artistic expression. - **Personalized Education:** Customized learning tools, like food alphabet posters, help individuals learn in a way that resonates with them. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Education:** The education industry can explore innovative teaching methods that incorporate creative and unconventional materials. - **Graphic Design:** Graphic designers can experiment with using unexpected materials to create unique and eye-catching typography designs. - **Parenting:** Parents can explore personalized learning tools, like food-based alphabets, to make education more fun and engaging for their children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky Snack-Inspired Fonts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-other-hand-font.md) - [Typography Food Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpui.md) - [Gen-Alpha Targeted Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sesame-workshop.md) - [Snack-Themed Textbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fundamental-textbooks.md) - [Instant Noodle-Crafted Fonts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/times-new-ramen.md) - [Kid-Friendly Recipe Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kid-friendly-recipe.md) - [Food-Inspired Brand Imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-clases-barcelona-venue.md) - [Food-Themed Baby Names](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-baby-name.md) - [Fruit Waste Ink Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-waste-ink.md)
