we bet german creative studio foreal had a ton of fun sculpting this playful and cheeky set of 3-dimensional letter forms, which redefine new ways of how typography can be built and seen in the digital world. each selection from the alphabetic series uses cinema 4D for their on-screen construction, painstakingly rendered as rocky craters on the moon, sudsy soap bubbles, oozing liquid gold and mouth-watering chewy caramel with incredibly accurate realism. bizarre, delicate, grotesque and delicious, the uppercase symbols each evoke a various reaction from the viewer, reconsidering the way letters both communicate and transmit information and ideas. we chose a few of our favorites, but take a look at the gallery below for the rest of the letter forms from ‘the sculpted alphabet’ series.
