7 Creative Origami Fonts That Will Show You The Art Of Paperfolding
While there are various paperfolding traditions all over the world, the most known of them is origami. Although the word origami is usually associated with Japanese culture, today, it’s an umbrella term to mean any and all paperfolding practices. It’s often discouraged to use cuts, glue, or markings onto the paper, but such methods have been accepted anyway.
The aim is to transform a sheet of paper into unique ‘sculptures’ such as animals, objects, or even people. You can use colored or printed origami paper. But normal copy paper is also acceptable, so long as you can easily make creases from it.
Just because digital typography isn’t made of paper, doesn’t mean you can’t practice origami from it. Check out these awesome origami fonts and see how the ancient traditions can live on in technology.
