The history books are full of graphic designers who ventured into other artistic fields. For example Bob Gill, as well as designing typography is a sculptor, while William Addison Dwiggins loved to create marionettes. In the same way, Oded Ezer, a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem, has transformed his own passion for typography into art.

Ezer, born in 1972, alternates his day job (advertising campaigns and corporate identities that have brought him a number of awards and prizes) with decidedly more experimental work in his laboratory in Givatayim, a suburb of Tel Aviv. For several years he has been working on a project that he calls Biotypography that, a little like in biotechnology, uses living organisms to create or modify typographic phenomena.

After having manipulated the letters of the Hebrew alphabet to create three-dimensional characters that move in space, this versatile font designer is now working on Typosperma where the characters are a cross between sperm cells and letters.
