Let's Make a Nature Font
Inspired by "Seeing Nature: Landscape Masterworks," this interactive workshop invited museum visitors to team up with renowned typographer Chank Diesel for a hands-on exploration of organic design. Using fresh flowers, leaves, twigs, and natural materials gathered from the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, participants carefully arranged custom-crafted botanical elements to build a living alphabet. Alongside helping capture these creative moments and portraits of the patrons who attended the event, the resulting organic characters were photographed to form a one-of-a-kind display typeface, celebrating the intersection of sustainable creativity, community collaboration, and contemporary typography.
