## What is FoundType?

Every letter has a story. The A on a rusty storefront sign. The M in hand-painted graffiti. The S on a mosaic tile from a trip you almost forgot.

FoundType turns your phone camera into a letter collector. Point it at any text in the real world and pick out the letters you love. Signs, posters, neon lights, handwriting, carved stone. Each one is saved with its original photo, where you found it, and when.

Then, spell out anything with the letters you've collected:

  • REELS: Animate your words into shareable videos, letter by letter
  • POSTCARDS: Piece together chaotic, collage-style messages

Your letter library grows with you. Browse by character, scroll through a timeline, or revisit them on a map of everywhere you've been.
Go find your alphabet!
