#SciType
An A–Z of scientists. For 36 Days of Type, each letter became a portrait of a scientist, drawn into the letterform itself.
THE ALPHABET
From Archimedes in his bath to Zimmer and his radiation experiments, every letter hides a story from the history of science.
Physicists and primatologists, anatomists and psychologists: the series mixes famous names with scientists who deserve to be better known. Each portrait borrows a detail from their work, a bathtub, a pea plant, a crystal lattice, and folds it into the shape of the letter.
