Fonts with fur: the typography animals of Dan Fleming
Word animals are a new breed of animal illustrations created using the letters in their name. It's a typography treat!

The series was created by British/Australian graphic designer Dan Fleming, who specialises in brand identity and logo design. Having only worked in the industry for four years, we must say we're mighty impressed with his work.
The identity of the Word Animals is comprised of a hand written mark and a broad colour palette that matches the visual style of the designs. The 'Crocodile' Word Animal will feature in Dan Fleming's inaugural logopond book. You can see the rest of the Word Animals on the site devoted to the project.
