H - Honesty
The Botanical Alphabet is more than just a seed collection - it’s a
gardening and typography project that marries the natural world with graphic design. For each plant, carefully selected from the most beautiful flora around the globe, a typeface in an iconic typographic style has been matched.
The Plant
Tiny purple bloom mainly known for its translucent seedheads, ideal for dried-flower arrangements.
The Typeface
A highly decorative, evocative font inspired by old decorated signs from 19th-century French stores.
