SYLVANA: As a designer, I have always said that, before I die, I’d like to design a chair, a lamp, a postage stamp and a
typeface. This sylvan alphabet may be the closest I get to the latter. My family and I like to hike and, as my daughter
collects interesting rocks, acorns and other artifacts of woodland life, I collect images. Some of the “letters” are plentiful
in nature—I have lots of Os and Xs for example. But others such as T and G are harder to find.
