PLANTS & FLOWERS

This week we bring you a few experimental fonts made with flowers and plants from The Making of Artistic Typefaces by 50 international designers published in 2016 by SendPoints Publishing in Hong Kong. Shown here:

Blossom Type: handcrafted with natural flowers with Photoshp for color correction by designers Nikita Shchykin and Alice Mourou of Oddity Studio based in Hong Kong.

Wanto 3 Aroma Living: letterform overlaid with a flower arrangement from Victor Design Corp.

Garden, Flowers, and Ice: as the name implies, this font, designed by Manuel Persa of Voluminica based in Asturias, Spain, is made using wild flowers placed in letter-shaped silicone molds, filled with water and frozen, and then removed from the mold.

Good Vibes: typographical wooden frame filled with living moss, designed by Camilo Rojas of CR-eate based in Miami.

Good Enough: original clay pottery with small plants as an illustration in the Dutch Volkskrat Magazine from the design studio Autobahn based n Haarlem and Rotterdam.
