The Five Senses Alphabet

  • Charlotte Knapp

The Five Senses Alphabet, the art or procedure of arranging type or processing data and printing from it while be in a faculty by which the body perceives an external stimulus; one of the faculties of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch.

Creating a typeface that utilises all of the human senses. Designers often neglect many of the senses, but typography can be a sensual experience. Multisensory typography is a font that can turn letters into formative perceptions of the alphabet.


This project stemmed from my final major project, from developing my final major project I branched off, and created the Alphabetical Identites.
