This “book” was gifted to my niece Rudy, with a narrative meant to resonate with both young and older Ru. It captures the magic of childhood while offering a deeper lesson about self-acceptance.

The abstract typographic story follows a girl on a journey of self-discovery, represented by the lowercase letter “g.” She begins as a serif, symbolizing her individuality. As she grows older and longs to fit in, she gradually transforms into a sans serif “g,” losing her uniqueness. At the climax, she shatters a magic mirror and returns to serif, now embracing her imperfections.

This piece is a story of resilience and self-discovery—one Rudy can revisit as a guide throughout her formative years.
