writing with seaweedThe art of typography and the nature of algae were brought together in the Algalphabet project, initiated by artist Julien Villaret, along with graphic designer Jonathan Shi in 2020. From the morphological study of algae, the two highlighted both the aesthetic richness of the underwater plants, and the rigorous system that constitutes letterforms.
Algalphabet currently includes one original typeface, ALG Bifurcaria regular, with more in development. All current and future fonts can be downloaded and used for free under the EULA and the Creative Commons license agreement.
