The Alfalfabet Typeface: Impossible Letters, Free to Use

The impossible alphabet, as a typeface you can use. Every Alfalfabet letter sits in a diamond frame that bends the rules of perspective: follow an edge and it turns from a floor into a wall into a ceiling. It's a display typeface, made for headlines, posters, and anything set big.

Big enough for a wall. Alfalfa Studio painted BRONX PROUD in Alfalfabet across a mural for an affordable housing building in the Bronx, and set a XV anniversary card in it for Tipos Libres, a type studio in Mexico. It holds up at any size.

Designed by Rafael Esquer and the design team at Alfalfa Studio in Harlem.

Free, with one request. Use Alfalfabet for anything you like. We'd love to see what you make with it; you'll find where to send it in the license.

Want the letters on your wall? The Alfalfabet poster sets all 26 in one piece, with tiny figures running through them. It won an Applied Arts award in 2018, and it's a limited edition of 500, signed or unsigned.
