Taking Type to the Next Level

If some people spend half their lives creating a typeface imagine sewing it after.
That's exactly what was done at Zim and Zou Studio. Each letter took a painstaking 6 hours to weave and altogether 500m of thread was used to create the typeface. Their newest creation made this year, Weave Type 2 is created of triangle pieces of different segments of thread. This is based off their Weave Type font created in 2010 where one single piece of white thread was woven around nails.
