Alphabet Soup - Research

These are some more examples of 'folding' typography. They all feature certain elements which are folded over to create a hand-crafted sense to the outcome.


Certain elements of the type are folded, revealing the colour of the paper underleaf. The type is still legible despite some aspects hidden away. This gives the impression the type has been squashed and therefore flattened - relating directly to the word I was given.


In this design, the whole letter is curled over, revealing a subtle gradient underneath which fades to white. The letterforms themselves are formed with simple shapes - triangles, squares and circles.

Similar to the first design, certail elements are 'folded' over.

The letterforms are halved and filled with 2 colours - yellow and black. At first glance, they may not be legible but upon further inspection, they can easily be distinguished. Some of them are halved through their lines of symmetry which could benefit my own idea.
