Real Characters

We all experience pareidolia: the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.

Real Characters is a celebration of this phenomena through the playful combination of typography & found imagery.

All type set by hand & assembled into a 48 page book including a poster, slipcase, and an accompanying face filter for social media. Printed on French Paper Co. paper with metal type & photo-engraved printing blocks.
