The Superhero Alphabet Is Here to Save the Day

You’ve all seen Avengers: Age of Ultron by now, right? If not, go ahead and get on that, it’s just action all over the place. Designer Simon Koay, possibly inspired by the megahit movie, put together an alphabet made up of characters from the world of superheroes, both Avengers and non-avengers alike. The resulting images are beautiful, and frankly, they’d look cool in a font (although it might look like the world’s weirdest ransom note, but still). He calls it the “Superbet,” and it’s wicked cool.


For more of the Superbet, check out Simon Koay’s work here.
