Description

Virtually anything can be used to make original typography and once you start looking, it is impossible not to see letters everywhere, from deliberate inventions - aromatic alphabets made of spaghetti, soup or spices, or contorted typefaces styled out of human handprints - to serendipitous and often short-lived discoveries - letters formed by chemtrails in the sky, negative spaces between trees branches and city buildings, cracks in plaster - to fading 'ghost types' painted on buildings in a pre-digital age.
