A graphic designer and illustrator by profession, Ji Lee has an ongoing personal project he calls “Word as Image.” The project is a way of drawing words. Lee uses creative typography to write and with such simple and creative flair that lets the words illustrate their meaning.

Handmade Type
A lovely typography experiment by Tien-Min Liao, this “explores the relationships between upper-case letters and lower-case letters, and also records the transformation between them.” For the experiment, Liao painted specific patterns on her hands to generally create an uppercase alphabet, she then moved her hands to change the placement or perspective to create the corresponding lower case alphabet. It sounds slightly difficult to understand, but take a look at the images and video below, and you’ll absolutely love it.
Cats Compared to Fonts [pics]
Folks, don’t ask what this is about. Kitties rule the internet and they can get by with anything. Even if it is comparing the felines to fonts. Now we wait for answers from obligatory dog version to appear.
Typeface Made With Pixar Characters
Canadian artist Mike Boon brought together our favorite characters from Pixar movies and combined them with the alphabet to create this wonderful typographic poster. We like the cutesy typeface, and the fact that Wall-E got to play “W” here. You can buy prints from Mike’s Society6 store. Via DYT
Winter is a Very Good Time for Ice Typography
Nicole Dextras uses the abundant winter snow to create letters that go as much as 8 feet high. The typography is an excellent set, and the snow a smart choice. As the sun travels through the sky, the hue and shape of the letters changes, creating an excellent view. Now we’d like to see them make a snowman, or write it, because we are immature like that.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Typography One-Liners
As far as we know, Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn’t quite made any greatly memorable quotes in his movies. What he did in the movies was basically unleashing a hurricane of ass-kicking upon his enemies, while muttering as few words as possible.
Comic Sans Fights Against Its Bad Name
Most designers and typographers can hardly hide the contempt and dislike for Comic Sans and many people seem to agree. There are quite a few people who use the poor typeface for any random thing and make it even more hated. Good news for Comic Sans is that it is not alone in this fight.
