Katherine Pendrill — August 14, 2015 — Art & Design
Australia-based illustrator Simon Koay published a new typography series that draws inspiration from popular comic book characters. Based on some of the most recent blockbuster films, superheroes have proven to be extremely popular among individuals of all ages. This quirky alphabet series draws on some of these beloved heroes and heroines as typographic inspiration.
Each letter in the series is designed to match the first letter of a superhero's name. Koay then uses the distinct characteristics of the particular figure to format each letter. While some of the letters are inspired by a hero's costume, others draw on their overall appearance. Some of the popular comic book characters featured in the series include Captain America, Iron Man and the Joker.
The quirky alphabet series provides a fun take on iconic heroes and heroines.
