Naked ladies alphabet , later renamed Body Type


In 1969 Anthon Beeke made his famous naked ladies alphabeth. Anthon: “This alphabet was a reaction to the computer alphabet made by Wim Crouwel. I admit: it’s absolutely unreadable and hence unusable. But if you’re going to make something unusable, you can at least make something people are able to enjoy.”

He made a black and white version and a colour version. In 2007 he augmented the alphabeth with numbers of ladies and black gents.
