A typeface inspired by origami? Love it! Designer Chris Berthe created Paper & Love with a flat typeface in mind, and the letterforms are based on an octagonal grid and origami folds. The digital version, which you can check out over on Behance, represents this origami concept by emphasizing transparency and focusing on the letter shapes, and the majority of the 2D letterforms can be created by simply folding thin strips of paper and following the octagonal grid. I love that Chris took his concept a step further and actually rendered the typeface in 3D using paper, an X-acto knife, and lots of love, of course.
