Typographic Portraits

Joshua Lurie-Terrell on August 23, 2004

Tony Rimmer of Halftone writes to us about a new ongoing project, “Can You Type?” – a sort of typographic portrait gallery. “With a canvas 240 pixels wide, and 400 pixels high, create a typographic representation of yourself.”

My favorite so far is Anthony Sheret‘s Lunch.
