Alphabet Illustrations Play with Form and Meaning

Tuesday 01.25.2011 , Posted by Benjamin Starr

London based illustrator, Maggie Li, has created 5 excellent posters that experiment with the form and meaning behind the alphabet. Some play with possible interpretations behind each letter usage while other examples are visually abstract and push the limits of font legibility, only finding clarity in their whole 26 letter form.
