Wie schmeckt's?

[Tasty?]

Experimental typeface built from liquorice

Group work in which each person designs one chapter of a book, built entirely around a chosen typographic experiment: creating a new typeface out of liquorice and designing one chapter of a book about it.

Different types of liquorice became building blocks for letterforms, photographed, selected, edited and combined into a full alphabet, then laid out across taste-driven chapters like “süss”, “bitter”, “würzig” and “scharf”.
