A Font Made From The Light Emitted From An iPhone

Australian designer Marcus Byrne has created a typeface using two unlikely instruments: an iPhone and a Canon 5D camera.



He sets his camera to a 3.5 second exposure, then uses his iPhone as a moving instrument to "paint" alphabets in the air.



In a dark room, the light trails generated by the app icons form neon, block-like characters that make for a stand-out typeface. The multi-colored apps also create a rainbow-effect that is visible on close-up.



Aptly named 'Phone Streak', its bold effect is explored when superimposed on images of a dark nature.
