Each photo is part of a two-page spread and is accompanied by a large typographic letter and some text that enhances the experience of that letterform.

Ode on Melancholy John Keats
No, no, go not to Lethe, neither twist Wolf’s-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine; Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kiss’d By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine; Make not your rosary of yew-berries, Nor let the beetle, nor the death-moth be Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl A partner in your sorrow’s mysteries; For shade to shade will come too drowsily, And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul. But when the melancholy fit shall fall Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud, That fosters the droop-headed flowers all, And hides the green hill in an April shroud; Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose, Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave, Or on the wealth of globed peonies; Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows, Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave, And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes.

She dwells with Beauty—Beauty that must die; And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh, Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips: Ay, in the very temple of Delight Veil’d Melancholy has her sovran shrine, Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue Can burst Joy’s grape against his palate fine; His soul shalt taste the sadness of her might, And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

The number 7 is all around us. There are 7 days of the week, 7 wonders of the world, 7 seas and continents, 7 Dwarfs in Snow White, and there are 7 colors of the
rainbow.
It’s considered one of the luckiest numbers because 7 is the most prime single digit number. It’s unique. 68 | Alphabet around the House in a time of Great Isolation

Planets Here are nine planets that we know. Round and round the Sun they go. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Theses are the planets nearest our star. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, too. Neptune, Pluto, we can’t see you. These are the nine planets that we know. Round and round the Sun they go. Cassie Sherman

Look Around Typography and letterforms are evreywhere. All you have do is look around you and allow your creativity to help you see it. Messages from the world are hidden and obvious at the same time. Inspiration can be found in the smallest detail and the largest object. Once you start to notice these letters and numerals, you will never see the world in the same way again. Enjoy the visual spaces around you, you might just discover a new experience. There is a true poetry to design and typography that lives all around us.
