See everyday fonts become funny portraits

This artist's gallery of amusing font portraits really puts the 'face' into typeface.

Comic Sans portrait
This witty gallery sums up font personalities perfectly.
Thanks to their stylised shapes and formats, fonts are loaded with character that affect how you read them. We've already seen students describing typefaces as people, but this collection takes personification to the next level.
Designed by art director Giovanni Isnenghi, TypeFaces Vol 1 is a personal project that rearranges familiar fonts into amazingly appropriate portraits.
From a gruff Garamond profile to the widely despised Comic Sans taking an arrow to the head, these pictures find creative ways to reinvent something as recognisable as typography.
Can we expect a Wingdings portrait in the future? Explore the images below and let us know what you'd like to see.
