Six typefaces that make use of the human body and bodily fluids
Filipino graphic designer Julius Raymund Advincula used the folds of his skin to create Body Type, an alphabet that finds hidden letterforms in unlikely combinations of body parts.
Advincula, who works under the name Subhelic, included his thumbs, ears and bellybutton in the typeface, photographed in glistening and suggestive snapshots after spraying his body with a mixture of olive oil and water.
The alphabet ranges from the obvious to the subtle, and was reviewed by designer Stefan Sagmeister in his renowned Instagram design clinic.
Kama Sutra A-Z is a book by French illustrator Malika Favre featuring a set of clean geometric shapes rendered in only four colours that depict naked bodies arranged in sex positions.
Designers from around the world including Pentagram's Giorgia Lupi have collaborated to make a typeface out of punctuation for period poverty in schools.
