The Alphabet You Can Make Pancakes With

By Able | January 21, 2008

This goes good with coffee…

I got a bit antsy about my typographical experiments and thought I would share my first sketch as a desktop. For this image, I took a regular stencil sheet and sprinkled some flour through it over some black paper. A topography builds as there is more flour in some places. Powdery mountains form that you can’t see as well from above, but the loose texture is beautiful.

Download it here. (1920×1200)
