Austria artist Andreas Scheiger has created “embryos” shaped like letters, depicting the birth of the alphabet, titled “Evolution of Type”.
The project was inspired by Frederic W. Goudy's book The Alphabet and Elements of Lettering—these letter embryos were sculpted from polymer clay, colored and coated with resin, and suspended in glass bowls filled with gel wax.
