The iPhone Font project is impressive on many levels. Not only does it suggest a lot of patience and creativity, it also signals dedication and determination considering how much each of the 540 apps used must have cost.
Created by Spanish artist Oriol Fernandez Tur, the iPhone Font features 25 letters which were created using only the apps on his phone. Unfortunately the letter 'W' was left out since it does not exist in the Spanish alphabet.
