There’s something strangely alluring about the steampunk aesthetic. It pairs the nostalgia of a bygone era with an old-world, sci-fi mystique.

With this project I wanted to see if I could use Midjourney (version 4) to merge this aesthetic with an English alphabet. I felt that Midjourney did a pretty decent job in many respects. I was pleasantly surprised by how varied the results were. It really got the steampunk look, and it added neat flourishes and embellishments that are really fun. Certain letterforms, however, like the E, I, M, and W, it really struggled with. Often, no matter what my prompt was, it would give me back at least one option that looked like a letter B or R.

Let me know what you think in the comment section below. And if you’re interested in getting a poster of the entire alphabet, it’s available below.

Thanks, Bill
