Yes, they look like something created digitally, popping out from the canvas as if they were three-dimensional fonts. They’re not. They’re hand drawn. And they came from the talented, skillful hands of Turkish graphic designer slash illustrator, Tolga Girgin. The artist have come up with a unique form of calligraphy that appears to be jumping out from paper, wanting to get out from its usual canvas. The light and shadows show a different perspective, giving Girgin a unique form of typography. His native land, Turkey, gave him strong Islamic influences and this can be very much reflected on his work.
Surprisingly, Girgin only use pens, pencils and markers to make his artworks. View more of his works down below. Some of the artist’s creations can be found on Instagram.
