For its latest commission from Wired UK, the Barcelona studio Lo Siento designed a typeface that required a syringe, bubble wrap, and some food coloring. They shaped the letters by individually injecting each tiny bubble with a mixture of water and food coloring using the syringe, and gave the text depth with a green and yellow contrast. According to designboom, Lo Siento wants to manipulate bubble wrap even more for the next lettering project: the plan is to introduce bacteria and other chemicals into the colored liquid so the text will slowly change colors, and in some cases, even start to disintegrate.
