Representing sound through typography



i like this idea of using sine waves to create type, but it doesnt really describe the quick sharp sound of 'pop'.


"Sonotype is an interesting concept: letters as sound. It’s described as a series of experimental typefaces that challenges the arbitrary relationship between verbal and visual communication."



I could use the influence of pop art to design a letter, I think the comic book 'POW!' works very well and could be transferred to the word 'POP' but applying this to a singe letter may be difficult.
