Project: To create an original alphabet over the duration of 30 days, creating one letter a day.

Solution: My alphabet was inspired by Takenobu Igarashi. I love that there is a difference between seeing and reading; when playing with form, there is enough change to jump between the two. I wanted to create an alphabet that comprises multiple shapes for each letter, which builds a three-dimensional shape. I allowed variation with each; some are empty vessels and others are formed with many closed shapes. It’s either in this absence or presence that a letter is formed. 

Created in Adobe Illustrator with the pen tool.
