The “Discovered Alphabet” project is a type hunting exercise designed to train the designer’s eye to track down letters of the alphabet hidden within architecture and everyday objects. From a graphic standpoint, I developed a minimal editorial layout that pairs each photograph with a vector interpretation of the letter, highlighting the connection between reality and typographic abstraction. The use of a rigorous grid and clean typography ensures a perfect balance between aesthetics and readability, providing a fluid and engaging experience throughout the volume.

By observing space and perspective, ordinary elements are reinterpreted as graphic signs. The project demonstrates the deep and often invisible link between typography and our surrounding environment, challenging the viewer to find design where it isn’t intentionally placed.
