3D Letters

These 26 alphabets are designed to be a
set of interactive and handcrafted typeface
that will encourage the viewer to personify
them; and this will be achieved through
re-assembling each alphabet into a more
aesthetically pleasing gesture of the letter,
based on individual preferences. The challenge
for the audience is to successfully piece
together each letter, so that each has a
distinguishable letter form, a subjective persona,
and mechanically ​operable subsequently ​
​at the same time. 

Design

The interactive process is designed to be
a way for the audience to rethink the
relationship between each letterform
and the surrounding spaces; and this is
done by piecing them together as if solving
a large set of puzzle. 

​The shadows casted by each alphabet, 
ideally in large-scale, will further give
personality to each alphabet, when they 
​are seen from different perspectives ​as 
light changes.

Layout

Each letter is designed to be recognized
by switching from the side-view to a
bird-view, for example. Hence, each one's
identity is revealed despite of the seeming
spatial/architectural congruity with the
surroundings; ​in contrast to the material 
​commonly associated with machines
and modernity, the personification will
​speak more to the viewers than the function

.
