The illustrator’s 26 saucy letters have been immortalised in print, thanks to a glossy hardback book from Counter-Print
Malika Favre first created her Kama Sutra alphabet as a personal project and exhibition in 2013. At the time, Favre – who’s no stranger to a saucy alphabet, having previously created the similarly cheeky Alphabunnies – described the images as “sexy, modern and daring without being vulgar or over the top”.
What began as eight letters was soon developed into a full alphabet made of intertwined human bodies, performing some remarkably acrobatic sex positions. The letters also appear in a series of saucy gifs, which introduces undulating movement that brings each position to life.
Counter-Print’s edition of the Kama Sutra brings Favre’s letters together with snippets of erotic writing, mostly created by women poets and dating back to ancient times.
The book itself is a lavish affair, housed in an embossed slipcase and featuring a gold-foiled cover. Plus there’s also a series of limited edition foiled prints available to buy alongside it.

In 2013, artist Malika Favre blended typography, illustration, design and erotica with her project and exhibition Kama Sutra A–Z .
While the initiative has lived on on Favre’s website and Pinterest galleries galore, today Counter-Print books is co-publishing a beautiful limited-edition book featuring the work.
The new hardcover features Favre’s 26 pieces, alongside erotic excerpts chosen by the artist, with a focus on female poets, including Sandra Cisneros, Stephanie Burt and Vanessa Kisuule.
As Counter-Print writes, “The dialogue created by this approach emphasizes the timeless relevance of erotica and is meant as a celebration of joy, pleasure and sensuality.”
As for the specs, the book features an embossed slipcase, a gold foil cover and is end-blocked in matte black. A limited run of foiled prints have also been produced for sale with the edition.

Although the Kama Sutra Alphabet is essentially made up of cartoons, they will some make people blush so furiously someone might dial 911 without even asking what the problem is. As its name gives away, the series of racy fonts illustrate 24 different positions that can be explored in the bedroom (or any other part of house, for that matter).
The initial concept for the Kama Sutra Alphabet was conceived after the French illustrator and graphic designer Mailka Favre was commissioned by Penguin Books to illustrate the new Deluxe Classic Cover of the Kama Sutra by Vatsyayana. She went on to design a full animated gif alphabet with some animators. The style is bold and colorful, which is inspired by her life in London, England.

The illustrator has worked with Counter-Print on a new book which sees her turn the 26 letters of the alphabet into erotic art pieces.
Malika Favre’s latest project is a “celebration of sex and the human body” in book form.
The French illustrator has partnered with independent publisher Counter-Print to produce Kama Sutra A-Z, a book which sees her turn the 26 letters of the alphabet into erotic art pieces.
Featuring an illustrated couple who bend and twist to make each letterform, the book is inspired by the original Kama Sutra, an ancient Indian Sanskrit text on sexuality, eroticism and emotional fulfilment.
Kama Sutra A-Z is the continuation of an idea that began in 2013, Favre tells Design Week.
Favre was commissioned by Penguin to design the cover of a reprint of the Kama Sutra, prompting her to create the first seven letters of her erotic alphabet (A,K,M,R,S,T and U). The publication of the book, in fact, is somewhat of a full-circle moment for the illustrator, as she reveals this was her first ever project as a freelancer.
A few years later, Favre says she completed the alphabet for inclusion in her Pick Me Up exhibition at Somerset House. The letters seen in the book have not be altered from their first iterations, she says.
“I consciously decided not to redesign them for this book,” she says. “There is something charming about looking at old work and leaving it untouched.”
Manipulating her illustrated couple into the forms of letters was an “organic” process, Favre recalls. Beginning with a “specific typeface” as a base, she says the process involved “bending bodies in different ways” to fit.
Each letter features the couple in different positions, illustrated in Favre’s signature minimal style.
“I ended up with a lot of possibilities and ended up developed the ones that felt the most balanced on a visual level,” she says. “Some letters came to me very quickly, and others demanded a lot more trial and error, but that was the beauty of the process.”
While the book and project idea itself is inspired by the Kama Sutra, the positions for the alphabet in this instance are not based on specific positions in the original text.
Favre says the idea was always “in the back of her head” to bring the designs into a book. But she adds that finding the right composition took seven years. The final result sees her pair her alphabet with erotic poetry and texts.
The motivation behind the pairing came after reading the poetry of Sandra Cisneros, a Mexican American writer whose work explores the lives of the working class.
“I found erotic writings a little corny [before I started reading her work],” Favre says. “There was something so sexy and pure about her verses and it felt like a perfect fit with my work.”
Subsequent research into erotica revealed to Favre the “timeless and universal” relevance of the genre. She says her intention was to balance the work between male and female voices, though finding women further back in history to include was a challenge. The final selection is a personal one, she explains, and includes work from Emily Dickinson, Sappho, DH Lawrence and William Shakespeare.
As for the design of the book itself having just two components lent itself well to Favre and Counter-Print’s “less is more” approach, she says. The team had previously worked together on Favre’s 10-year monograph, which was published last year.
“The challenging thing with our minimal approach is that you can’t hide your mistakes – so we knew the book was all going to be about printing techniques and processes,” she says. “We questioned every single choice we made.”
The final result is gold-foiled and end-blocked in matte black. The illustrations themselves are presented in a selective colour palette of red, orange, white and black. It comes wrapped in an embossed slipcase, too.
Favre says Counter-Print took the lead on designing the book, while she focused on curating the excerpts. She says she opted for the “old-school way” to source rights for the texts, reaching out to writers directly.
“It was incredible to present the idea these amazing poets and get such a warm response,” she says. “It felt very personal.”
Kama Sutra A-Z is published by Counter-Print and is available to buy on the Counter-Print website and Malika Favre’s website .
