Handmade Type is a typographic experiment by designer Tien-Min Liao wherein shapes painted on her hands are transformed by gestures to create letterforms. However she gave herself a unique constraint: the painted figures on her hands for each individual letter had to be utilized for all variations of the letter, both upper and lowercase and sometimes even italic and handwritten. See more examples and the full alphabet over onBehance.

This is a self-initiated typographic experiment that explores the relationships between upper-case letters and lower-case letters, and also records the transformation between them...beautifully done :-)

She has created 26 sets of these inked shapes lower-case letter, such as A and a. She also created some italic letters, hand-writing letters and some new typefaces with the same shapes.
