Typography That’s Bi-lingual and 3D

This typography project is bi-lingual and 3D, what a mix, this is part of a new project from Andrey Danilov in collaboration with Muei San. This whole project of the word TYPE was deeply influenced by the works of Switzerland sculptor Markus Raertz. The artistic duo decided to erase a very clear boundary between Eastern and Western typography and mash it together, and their end result in my opinion was amazing!

To create this project the duo experimented with a lot of innovative media that they have never used. Everything started in Maya, as they proceed further into the project they continued with 3D printing. Once they felt that the 3D form was ready they went on and prepared for a photo shoot, followed with some photo editing. And their final product was this awesome TYPE… bi-lingual and 3D what a combination of Eastern and Western typography.
