Coffee dusting - type?


Before this brief, as far as I knew, costa were the only coffee shop to have inventive chocolate dusting on their drinks, which gave me the idea of applying letterforms to the tops of drinks. Originally I was going to apply individual letterforms per cup/mug of drink and create a typeface that way, but experimenting and researching into 'coffee dusters' apparently you can create quite intricate detailed designs to be dusted.



This opens up the possibility of creating a typographic composition instead of an entire typeface, creating a complete scenario for the cup or, allowing for a good square format advert space (with compromising on scale)




This piece from Carina Tous, demonstrates a similar effect onto a napkin styled stock. Could i apply type to stock?
