Experimental Type Design

Create alphabets by hand using playing Clay was a very fun process since it took me back to my childhood times. Clay also gave full control of how I wanted the alphabets to look like. Apart from the fun creation process, playing clay is a very common and favourite toy from most people's childhood. Shaping alphabets with clay is also an extremely organic and experimental approach and was very experimental in creating type.
