The Project

 

In collaboration with Ravensbourne University, London-based design studio Johnson Banks created a complete set of 3D Printed letters that showcase the character and history of each particular typeface.  For example, the “G” is composed of “Gill Sans” (1933.) Eric Gill, designer of the typeface, is quoted as saying, “a pair of spectacles is rather like a ‘g’; I will make a ‘g’ rather like a pair of spectacles.”   For those of us dorks who are appreciative of typefaces, this one’s for you.  Check out the complete list of letters here…
