This set of Alphaclamps is an exploration of tools and their form. From the I-beam to the C-clamp, the latin letterforms seem to have a chicken-egg relationship with the letter-shaped tools that bear their name. Is the C the basis for design, or simply a descriptor of the form? Curious about how the other letters would work as tools, I set out to explore the mechanical utility of the forsaken letters of our alphabet.

C clamps, the best laborer I ever hired. Always on time and haven’t broke one in 35 years. I did bend one last year but it was the low hanging tree branch’s fault.
