50 Creative Typographic Portraits

June 3, 2012 by Laxman Typography

A picture is worth a thousand words. But what’s a picture of words worth? In the hands of some, far more still. Typographic Portraits combine the specifics of an image with the communicative power of words.

They can capture an idea, or express the essence of a person’s state of being, in a way that is hard to match in terms of interest and visual appeal.

The images in this gallery are sometimes happy, sometimes sad. Colorful, or bleak. But all express themselves in a way unique to typographic portraits.

Using fonts for portraits became one of the trends these days in many advertising. I see so many of them in TV, posters and prints. Your sample above are very great for inspiration
