His manga style, with pink color and abstract character make his successful

Happy Woman Day

I think this is a quite good typo with rhythm and very good white space. Although the way all of the letters are arranged is complex, it lead our eyes to the shape of a woman. In my opinion, if the author take some letter at the right side of the woman out, it will be better and clear. However, I still think this is a interesting image. The way the number is put together is interesting to.
