Here’s one way to get fellow office drones to stop stealing your lunch.
Artist Rob Draper, after successfully marking his coffee, has moved on to creating beautiful works of typography on various foodstuffs.
The inspirational food messages are created by hand, using nothing more than marker and paint. See more of Draper’s work below and over at Instagram. Try some food drawings of your own, and cool it with the passive aggressive notes on the fridge.
Lithuanian artist Andy Diak created a fun typography series, Vitamins. The letters and numbers represent vitamins and minerals, e.g. A, C, K, Zinc, etc., and are made up of foods that contain the most of each.
Citrus and peppers make up a C, while Zinc (Zn) is created with beans and seeds. See more of the delicious typography here.

And, if you’re feeling daring with your baking, there’s a few more system fonts to choose from. Whether it’s a batch of Garamond, Futura, or Baskerville cookies — just make sure to kern them correctly for the upcoming bake sale.
We all work for food… however NYC-based artist Lauren Hom cuts out the unnecessary steps of getting handed a check, standing in line at the bank, and then exchanging money for goods.
Hom, creator of Will Letter For Lunch, offers her service as a graphic artist in exchange for meals. The concept is simple… Hom creates handwritten menus for restaurants in New York City, and her payment is whatever she writes on the board.
“Grilled Whole Fish” on the menu? Then you can expect Hom to be dining on said fish shortly. Considering how much a beautifully-lettered menu classes up a joint, this bartering system seems more than fair. Especially if Hom designs a few Happy Hour menus. See how it all works here.

The possibilities for 3D-printing technology are endless. So, creating an edible typeface made from pasta seemed inevitable.
Monomyth, created by UK-based Sawdust, whips up a few sheets of pasta — then laser cuts it into an awesome font series, worthy of any spaghetti-related ad you might be working on.
