Behind the type

I've never used a 3D rendering program to make a typeface before. But that's exactly what I've done with my new font called Yeah. Each letter was modeled in Cinema 4D to look like those gold foil mylar balloons. Very big, and bold and very Kitsch. The 3D models were then taken into Photoshop.
