PUERILE ME

“Puerile Me” is a series of typeface design and illustrations that portrays letters as singular entities through the childish eyes of my younger self. 

Along my journey of learning typography, I pondered where I was first introduced into the world of typography. The first memory that sparked in my mind was my love of initial keychains as a kid. Initial keychains of the letter “E” clung along my school backpack, lunchbox, and luggage, tagging all of my closest belongings. The singular letter was like a precious ornament that meant everything to me. Therefore, the letters are illustrated as playful figures attracted to another ambiguous object with vivid colors and unbound anatomy, contradicting the sleek and clean modern type design.
