In Search of Coffee Milk is a short book where I took a real story, a cross country road trip to try coffee milk, and filter it through ChatGPT to fill it out and make it even weirder and crazier. However, the real priority of this book was experimenting with typography and letter forms through several in-chapter mini projects and applying interesting techniques during the regular pages as well. This project really stretched my imagination of how letterforms can be used and interpreted and broke down my self-placed limit that type in design should always be visible. Please enjoy.
