Plumage Stamp Alphabet
A visual alphabet set inspired by Costa Rican birds. This small country is home to nearly 10% of the world’s bird species. Their common names appear in Spanish, as a tribute to local culture and language.
Just like postage stamps, birds cross borders. They travel freely between countries, connecting distant places, like a letter finding its way across the world.

Sketches & process
These sketches reflect the initial search for balance between bird and letter.
Each drawing explores posture, silhouette, and the subtle tension between representation and abstraction.
