Behancer Joan Pons Moll got some attention from the New York Times last week in a blog feature on his fitness meets typography project, “Athletic Type.”
Athletic Type/Running Alphabet – NYT
The Spanish graphic designer Joan Pons Moll is creating a new typeface, but unlike most typographers, he’s doing so with his feet rather than a computer, and he’s slightly out of breath. Taking sneakers to pavement, Pons is planning to run the entire alphabet — both upper- and lower-case letters — in his inventive endeavor, Running Alphabet.
this is fantastic.
Briliant !
If only something beautiful would have come out of it.
Running and typography – two of my favorite things. I’m so pissed I didn’t thInk of this first.
Please don’t be a tease and make this into a real type set! What a fun idea
