What type are you?

For an typography assignment at the University Of Arts London, Samuel Mensah designed this colorful font by using molded candy. Modeled on the style of Avant Garde Gothic type, he ate tons of sweets and played around until the candy metamorphosed into a tasty 26 letter set.

He first photographed the individual letters and finally produced this image by using photoshop. Some well done sweetness!
