In celebrating the release of Microsoft 365 new default font Aptos, Microsoft partnered with Lucky Risograph to give away five limited-edition risograph posters.
A group of us 3D illustrators each created a letter inspired by the design elements and location the font was inspired from, Aptos, California.
Risograph is a duplicator printing method for high-volume graphic arts prints and photographs utilizing high vibrancy inks from Japan. Often described as a mix between screenprinting and photocopying, the process involves printing one color at a time repeatedly, making each copy unique.

My inspiration for the "T" is an homage to the iconic pier in Aptos, California, where Aptos name originated. Throughout history Aptos pier has endured countless storms yet has remained a beloved gathering place. Given its recent demolition, I wanted to reimagine its essence with the added twist of Riso inks. The result is a surreal, dreamlike celebration of Aptos’ beauty, resilience, and a reminder of the nature that bring us together.
