Video Games Characters Alphabet Turns Icons into Type
Meghan Young — May 19, 2011 — Art & Design
Gamer culture has permeated many industries and now we can add typography to that growing list, thanks to the Video Games Characters Alphabet poster. Although you may have to look pretty close to make out each iconic pop culture character, you will soon be able to distinguish Zelda, Pac-Man, Super Mario and so forth.
Designed by artist Fabian Gonzalez, who also brought us the Alphabet of Super Heroes, the Video Games Characters Alphabet series is intriguing not only for its context, but also because Gonzalez used a very classic font to portray each character.
Fun and playful, the Video Games Characters Alphabet series is available as a poster for $13.99, sweater for $42 and T-shirt for $22.
