We love innovative typography at Creative Bloq (see our guide to typography design), and this new campaign has taken a particularly novel approach to creating an alphabet. But it's one with an important message. 

The Breast Cancer Alphabet comprises illustrations in the form of every letter from A to Z, and all of them represent potential symptoms of breast cancer. The letters, which have also been animated for digital use, aim to show that there is more to breast cancer awareness than checking for lumps alone)
