Aerial Bold

Aerial Bold is a typeface built from images of our planet. Currently on Kickstarter, the founders plan to scan the earth for letterforms that are written into the topology of buildings, roads, rivers, trees, and lakes. To accomplish this, they will draw from an entire planet’s worth of satellite imagery and develop the tools and methods necessary to map these features hiding in plain sight. Personally, I’m hoping Apple finishes up their new headquarters soon so they can become the letter O.
