Artscape's visual arts coordinator Gary Kachadourian approached occasional Baltimore City Paper contributors Nolen Strals and Bruce Willen about adding a typographical exhibit to 2005’s citywide lineup, both designers pounced on the opportunity. They put out an open call for designers to create their own original alphabets. The resultant show compiles 60 alphabets by 47 artists, handpicked from an international pool of more than 150 submissions.
Here they intentionally displayed each letter together (rather then by submission), to show differences in typographical elements from one letter to the next.
This is a page from the As.
