This archive explores unconventional approaches to typeface creation, utilizing everyday objects and actions as design tools. For example, I developed “Noodle Typeface” using instant noodles and created another font by having two people push against a brush in a strength contest, resulting in dynamic, tension-driven strokes.

These experimental typefaces, along with their variations and extensions, culminated in a 5,000-page archive, showcasing the vast creative potential beyond traditional type design. This project highlights how ordinary materials and actions can inspire diverse and imaginative typography.
