Heterosis vector typeface
These 3D characters have been crafted by combining two sets of vector lines which, when viewed together, form these stunning 2D studies. The alphabet of delicate, insect wing-like letters wouldn’t look out of place under glass in an entomologists lab. Very well executed by Toronto based Brian Banton.
Materials: Transparent Elastic, Transparent Acrylic
Dimensions: 5.5” x 7” x 3”“heterosis – a kinetic typeface” by brian banton
In a world abundant with computer-generated graphics, this makes for a nice change

This modular alphabet has been laser cut in 6” squares from architectural butter board. The height is each letter is based on word frequency as defined by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, which as creator, YuJune, observes is almost identical to word frequency as defined by old linotype machines. Not much has changed then in nearly 200 years!
From devidsketchbook:
Created by Yale-graduates Caspar Lam and YuJune Park of Synoptic Office, Alphabet Topography is a physical examination of letterforms as it relates to usage frequency. Vowels and consonants like “R” and “T” were given more vertical prominence while lesser-used letters like “W” and “G” hardly make a blip.
