AN ALPHABET BENT BY HAND
Fluffy Font is a complete alphabet constructed from ordinary office staples. Each character was shaped individually by hand, transforming a standardized fastening object into a precise typographic line.
Created in 2017, the alphabet required more than 100 hours of manual work. Every letter measures approximately two centimetres in height and retains the slight irregularities produced by bending the metal, balancing typographic consistency with the physical character of the material.
Rather than reproducing the appearance of a digital typeface, Fluffy Font exists first as a collection of miniature sculptures. Straight lines, curves and angles emerge from the limitations of the staple itself, revealing how a familiar utilitarian object can become both image and language.
Fluffy Font was featured by Adobe Behance and received an Adobe badge after its inclusion in the Adobe Typeset gallery.
