36 Days of Type

2024 · School

36 letterforms. One unified system. A full square grid. Every glyph locks to the same square module.

Role: type design

The concept for this project was to mimic the '36-day annual challenge’ created by the design studio Treintayseis, where typographers and graphic designers use the Latin alphabet to create a letter (or number) for 36 days straight. Beginning with research and drawing rough sketches, this stretched our innovative spirit with typography. Given the criteria of each letter having a unified relative skill capable of fitting within a square format in a full grid, these sketches came to life using Illustrator and were laid out in Photoshop.

Deliverables:

Screen-ready output files of each letterform (36) + 1 grid image. 72ppi, 1080 x 1080.

Print-ready TIFF files of each letterform (36) 300ppi, 3” x 3”

Print-ready tiff file of 6x6 grid with all letterforms 300ppi, 18” x 18”
