Touchfont

Touchfont is a very tactile font designed by a Russian blogger i_sunny_smile (only information on the designer I could find). The font is a quite unique take on the 'body-as-type' concept. Imprints of palms, feet, and other more promiscuous forms take shape as lower-case lettering. As a whole, the type seems to be a cross between stamping and fingerprinting, yet some letters appear more abstract and the body information loses definition, looking more like a heavy brush stroke (the U and S for example). Those issues aside, Touchfont proves that it is a unique, creative take on typography in letters like the M, Z, and especially O. Touchfont is proof in itself that type can be art. I wouldn't expect to see this font in any magazine spreads or billboards, however I wouldn't be surprised to find it displayed in a museum setting.
