Something I enjoy a lot is playing with imagery, and using things that I like to express myself. A common theme that can often be found in my artwork is animals, and I decided to play around with how animals could be used in typography.
Some sources of animal typography I found online include:
‘Bird Alphabet Chart’ by Andrea Kalfas
‘Animal Type’ by Ana Melo
One thing I noticed about these examples, was the consistent styling of the animals in the alphabet, and that each artist had their own unique style. Hence, I searched for an artist whose style I wanted to emulate in my type.

What I liked about Liz Climo’s comics was the way the animals were simply drawn, but were effective in attracting the audience. Hopefully my letters will be able to adopt a similar style! (:
absolutely lovely examples ..now the challenge is to render composition and creatively use images of animals for your own typographic portrait.looking forward to more works
