This article is not about typography as such. The alphabets selected even violate some dictats governing design in this field. We have extracted some plays on forms designed using the combination of letters and architectural forms. The fonts used in this article could even be considered arbitrary, eccentric, individualistic, free, and in some extreme cases as "typographic jokes", but we prefer to look at values derived from the architectural graphic expression. The final products can be considered as integrated into the architectural graphic expression.
