Hi All,

I’m sure I’ve seen fonts around that have letters made from people bending and twisting to form the shapes of the letters. But now that I need it I can’t seem to find one anywhere. Specifically I need the numbers from such a font. Does anyone know the name of such a font or where I could find it.

Thanks in advance.

John

With the help of a spouse and a mirror, you can get not only the A-Z letters but also all the possible variations of Kernings and Ligatures.

It’s all about RAD, but if your not into skating then i guess that doesn’t help-ONE

Try CutOut although it is very stylized its pretty fun and includes 0-9 numeral set -ONE

Koppa: nice letters but it’s for a kids book so I don’t think these would be appropriate

AzizMostafa: Interesting idea for a new project but not for the one I need help with at the moment.

LeeMc: I did see Rad but the skater thing doesn’t work for the theme of the project. And I did see Cutout but it might be a little too stylized for what we’re after.

All very interesting but this is for a kids exercise book so we were looking for numbers composed of people (kids preferably) posed as numbers.

Thanks again for the pointers but perhaps it’s time to give up the quest. Or maybe hire an illustrator.

Before sending my 2 daughters to bed, I have been playing with them the Fingers shadow game. Surprisingly, they formed with their little golden fingers all the Arabic and Latin letters.
