Chimera is a typeface I illustrated where each letter is comprised of two animals. The heads of the animals start with the same letter as they are representing, for example the "bat fish" assumes the role of the B and the "panda chicken" for the P. All letters were hand drawn by me, then silkscreened in 13x19 prints. Below features a couple close up shots of the silkscreen and the full alphabet.
