Global Letterforms

As part of an exhibit, I was asked to 3D print two separate roman characters. I created my initials, A and P, as well as the Arabic character س (sīn), the first initial of my father’s name in the arabic script, based off of his time in Amman, Jordan, where I was born. For each letterform, I started by importing a flat vector file from Illustrator into Tinkercad.
