HandMadeFont is an Estonian design company, founded in 2008 by Vladimir and Maksim Loginov. These designers specialise in developing untraditional fonts made out of everyday objects and materials, ranging from paperclips, food and even body hair.
The images below show their paperclip font, which takes on a similar style to my own experimentation with creating letterforms out of paperclips. Theirs differs from mine in that they have managed to create each letterform or character out of a single clip. In this way the font can be seen as more standardised, whilst mine made use of multiple clips for particular more tricky letterforms. The bowls and loops of letterforms are more triangular whereas mine are more rounded. This may be the main reason why I found it hard to manipulate the clips into some letterforms due to my approach in making them circular. A paper clip is made of mostly straight lines, therefore it would have been easier to make a triangular shape, as has been done in HandMadeFont's paper clip typeface.
