The alphabet, as interpreted by Google Maps

Looking for a unique font for your next gift card or ransom letter? Graphic artist/creative director Rhett Dashwood used Google Maps to discover natural and man-made (OK, mostly man-made) structures and landscapes resembling the letters of the alphabet.

The project took about half a year, although it wasn't exactly a full time endeavor. All of the locations in Dashwood's alphabet were discovered within Victoria, Australia. So if you don't like the way some of these letters look, feel free to scan the rest of the globe until you find better representations.
