We often overlook the beauty of the everyday trees that quietly surround us. Their shapes, details, and fascinating variety frequently go unnoticed. From this perspective, I wanted to bring these hidden structures of nature into focus and use them as the foundation for typographic design. I began with photography in order to analyze their materiality, forms, and structures. The title of the project is «Metamorphose», as it highlights the transformation through different stages of typography. I then continued working with acrylic paint and printing on cardboard before developing the process further in digital form. The entire project is divided into three booklets, each with its own distinct focus.

This booklet presents my exploration of the trees fir, wych elm, beech, maple, and quince. Beginning with the collection and analysis of their characteristic features from leaves to fruits. I translated these elements through printing with acrylic paint to capture their forms and textures. The resulting impressions became the basis for letters and shapes that connect organic structures of nature with typographic forms. The green-marked letters highlight the selected elements that will serve as the foundation for further type design.

This second booklet provides insight into the process of transformation. Shapes and letters inspired by five tree species were analyzed, explored, and tested for their potential as typographic forms, resulting in a variety of experiments and variations.
On the pages, each designed letter serves as a starting point, then undergoes transformation and refinement.
This process reflects the translation of organic forms into structured letterforms and offers a deeper view into the creative thinking behind a typeface shaped by the richness of nature.

This final booklet serves as a specimen, presenting a graphic and playful display of the beauty found in tree structures.
Each word and letter is built from tree elements, illustrating leaf trees, needle trees, and even a cross-section of a tree trunk.
The words are shown in both straightforward and experimental forms, with short notes providing information about each tree part.
The letters combine elements from the new alphabets and the first collection, bringing the project to its final stage.
