The 90s TOYpography

We’ve seen some stone alphabets collected by a Belgium designer. Meanwhile, 36 Days of Type have their own alphabet gimmick as well with their 90s TOYpography.

Get ready as we take a nostalgic trip to the past with these toys, and let us learn the alphabet once again. And this time, A is not for “apple”; A is for Ants in the Pants.

Some of the toys featured are the ViewMaster, Q*bert, X-Men, and Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda.

Check out the rest of the alphabet over at Noah Camp.

Can you guess what the other letters represent?

I would posit that the beard would seem to the observer to amplify the motions of the jaw, given that the beard adds volume to the jaw's size, therefore magnifying those parts of speech that include lower jaw movement.

Further research should also be conducted to test for color/contrast discrimination. E.g., that a dark beard, having greater contrast, would be more easily perceived than that of a lighter shade, given of course, that the test is performed using speakers have a relatively light complexion; the inverse could possibly hold true for speakers with skin tone similar to the shade of the facial hair.
