Anamorphic typography work by Charlie Mitchell. Ah, helvetica… Every graphic nerd’s wet dream.

 

Anamorphic illusions are images that can only be truly appreciated from a certain vantage point. What at first looks like random fragmented shapes of colour becomes an interesting piece of art when viewed from the “sweet spot”.

One of the best known anamorphic artist is Felice Varini, a Swiss artist who is known for his geometric anamorphic illusions. Felice ’s work is usually found within architectural and urban spaces using a projector-stencil technique. Check out examples of his work below.

Wonderfully tripy stuff!
