I am not a let­ter­er, but I am often enthralled by the let­ter­forms that illus­tra­tors and graph­ic design­ers cre­ate. One of my favorite projects they par­tic­i­pate in is 36 Days of Type, which essen­tial­ly chal­lenges a let­ter­er to design their own alpha­bet and num­bers one through nine. Jil­lian Goel­er com­plet­ed this project with an illus­tra­tive twist. Her designs include motifs such as hands, flo­rals, and cac­ti that are arranged to cre­ate let­ter­forms. Cou­pled with her use of col­or, they have a retro vibe.

Jil­lian sells her work as prints, but­tons, stick­ers, and more in her Etsy shop. Fol­low her on Insta­gram to see what she’s up to next.
