When the Department of Design at Japan’s Tama Art University challenged students to create new typefaces without the aid of their computers, 20-year-old Mayuko Kanazawa began scratching her head… and came up with a hair-brained scheme.
Kanazawa had recalled seeing letters, words and graphic images shaved into some people’s heads (and a few particularly hirsute bodies) and wondered if there was some unexplored, original variation of this practice. Her Eureka moment came when a male friend complained to her about a pain in his leg. With a single glance at his shaggy gams, Kanazawa knew she had found her font. And so it was that Leg Hair Font was born!
