Think you know your contemporary artists? This project might just put your skills to the test. Celebrating the intersection of art and typography, The Artphabet is a stunning typographic project that pays homage to some of the greatest modern and contemporary artists from across the decades.

While there are countless types of typography, this intricate project demonstrates the diversity of the craft, with each letter boasting its own character and story. From Basquiat to Frida Kahlo, the project is a playful and dynamic tribute to the greats, demonstrating how culturally influential contemporary art has become.
