More of her work here:

Ouch! Splinter

Ouch! Splinter by Arslan Shahid.

This 3D typeface is made from triangular pieces of cut up cardboard. It was created with the notion of war, taken from the perspective of the mood and atmosphere it creates in areas of conflict.

Antechamber

Antechamber (A Free Typeface) by Alex Varanese

Architecture and type design have a lot in common. Both demand technical precision and creative expression in equal measures, both elevate the interplay between negative and positive space to a level beyond that of most art forms, and both face the unenviable expectation of conveying beauty while remaining inconspicuous.
