Pretzel Bold | Advanced Typography

Walked into Advanced Typography with John Langdon yesterday with “Bite the alphabet” written on the chalkboard. The class spent the next 40 minutes carefully biting off bits, ends, knots, and loops of Uncle Jerry’s Hard Pretzels to make a full alphabet. Granted, it’s a mix of upper and lower case (and the only consistent style is ‘salted’) - but it was a tremendously fun experiment and team-building exercise nonetheless.

Above: the full alphabet, and a photo-collage of my name out of pretzel.
