This typeface was created with two things in mind, the deadly Dalgona game in the popular Korean horror Netflix series, "Squid Games" and Helvetica. The players in the show were given tin cans with hardened sugar candy engraved with a random shape and a needle. The challenge was using only a needle, the player must remove the shape without breaking it. I aimed to create a typeface that would be fun and enjoyable craft. In order to create these letter-forms, I first printed each letter of the alphabet in Helvetica then traced the letter on one-half of a graham cracker. After doing so I used an exacta-knife to carve away at the cracker doing my best not to snap a leg or arm off. Most cracked, but I did manage to keep the integrity of a few letters. Next I took a picture of each letter  on Adobe Capture, and composed this poster. Everyone welcome, "Graham Crack."
