This project is an educational project. It was an assignment on Typography Design given to tertiary education students from the School of Art, Design and Media, NTU, Singapore. The assignment was for each student to design Drop Caps as a font family. The outcome was multiple font families created by students and inspired on the flora, fauna, and unique features of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. From this, the best Drop Caps were printed in the book A Garden For All, published by the editorial Epigram Books in Singapore.
