45 Projects for 3D Lettering Inspiration

t’s impossible for me to talk about 3D lettering without mentioning Katlego Phatlane, who sees all 2D type in 3D “almost immediately.” How cool would that creative superpower be? We interviewed Phatlane about his amazing typography work last month, and since then I’ve been on the hunt for more cool 3D letters. Check out the roundup below and get your 3D-lettering fix.
And if do great things with type and lettering in your own projects, consider entering your best work into PRINT’s 2015 Typography & Lettering Awards (deadline: Friday, Nov. 20).
