What is Letterforms & Illusion?

Letterforms & Illusion is a barrel of fun. It was coauthored by Scott Kim, the graphic artist best known for Inversions, a collection of typographic designs that can be viewed from a variety of angles and still make sense. Letterforms & Illusion lets you create your own inversions, but there’s more to it than that. It's a set of visual puzzles, images, and games that are fun to fool around with and that help you learn about words and type.

All the special fonts necessary are included. These fonts can also be used in your own graphic creations. A specially modified version of MacPaint is also included, as most of what you'll be creating is elaborate bit-mapped graphics.

Letterforms & Illusion teaches you a lot about type and should make you more aware of what good — and bad — design is. It makes an education in graphic design a pleasure.
