For their very first project, art duo Nerhol (Yoshihisa Tanaka and Ryuta Iida) took on an ambitious initiative: to create, in their words, an “oratorical typeface” entirely carved from Japanese books. Meticulously cutting through page after page, the artists managed to create a 3-dimensionally layered alphabet that, as any typface should be, is consistent with each and every other letter. Aside from the technically astounding, there’s something poetic about deconstructing an entire book to reveal a single letter.
