Body Font

about the project

Body Font is an experimental typography project that constructs letterforms using the human body as a visual system. By translating gestures, poses, and physical movement into typographic structures, the project redefines the relationship between form and language.

The work is presented through both a poster and a publication. The poster functions as a complete alphabet system, while the book further explores variations, sequencing, and composition across different formats. Rather than treating type as fixed geometry, the project approaches it as something performative and flexible—where meaning is shaped through the interaction between body, space, and visual structure.
