Alphabets @ Alden features a poster series of personal alphabets created by ART 2520 typography students over the course of 9 weeks during the spring 2025 semester.

For the “A-Z alphabet sketchbook and poster project”, typography students in Art 2520 with Sarah McDowell and Tabitha Asiedu-Gyamfi were challenged to find, photograph, design, draw, create and/or construct 2-4 letters of the alphabet over the course of 9 weeks. The students were encouraged to be creative with each of the letter drawings; to consider trying out different methods and media including dimensional materials; and to express a sensitivity to color, texture, image and meaning.

View the posters on the 3rd floor of Alden Library throughout the summer and 2025-26 academic year, and read the students' personal statements and view their posters digitally on the OHIO Archives blog.
