Evolution Of Type By Andreas Scheiger

Andreas Scheiger
Graphic artist and sculptor Andreas Scheiger recently came across the book “The Alphabet and Elements of Lettering” by famous type designer Frederic W. Goudy, which analyzes the alphabet and compares letters to human organisms. Scheiger was fascinated by this notion and decided to translate the idea into a literal representation, seen n his Evolution of Type series.
A letter, a sign suggesting a sound and thus in combination suggesting a world, has to be of organic origin. In this belief Andreas Scheiger continued to dissect further letters. In some of them, to his utmost surprise, he discovered calcium carbonate skeletons, similar to sea corals. It is only the beginning of my journey into the evolution of letters but I dare to assume conform evolution to mammals at this stage.
