The Hebrew typeface Va’ad * was deconstructed into six variously-sized atoms, designed on the basis of a square grid and tagged with the Latin letters D, E, I, J, K, V.

 

The molecular alphabet is composed of combinations of two–eleven atoms, arranged as if composing a chemical formula. Each atom is surrounded by a fixed electric charge that causes an electro-magnetic interaction. The combination of the atoms into letters parallels the combination of letters into words. The atoms are 3D units, whose combination forms letters or three-dimensional signs.

* The Va’ad  typeface (2005), designed by Kobi Franco, is based on a sign created by Ze’ev Raban in 1925.
