In a project surely wracked with tricky decisions, designer Anil Mistry has created an Icon Alphabet – with one carefully curated character he deems iconic representing each letter.

The Icon Alphabet was inspired by childhood alphabet charts, he says, and features icons from the worlds of art, cinema, television, music and science.

Albert Einstein, Zebedee, Peter O’Toole, Vangelis, Quincy Jones and Funkadelic all make an appearance, forming what Mistry describes as ‘a grown-up alphabet of cool.’

The print was created using a Risograph machine, ‘an archaic Japanese printer which looks like a photocopier but functions like a silk screen printer’, explains Mistry.

Due to the technique used to separate the colours with the machine, every print is unique, giving a bright, bold look and a chalky finish.
