Typography / animation

36 Days of Type is a project which invites designers, illustrators and visuals artists to express their interpretation of the letters and numbers of the Latin alphabet.

The project happens on a yearly basis and explores the creative boundaries of letterforms by challenging participants to design a letter or number each day for 36 consecutive days.

For the 10th anniversary of the project in 2023 I used modernist Canadian design as a reference point for exploring each character. A typographic grid was made which created a base and structure to create letters and numbers which have a number of different graphic interpretations. Each character was animated bringing the graphics forms to life in a more interactive manner.

The full character and number set was featured on the 36 Days of Type instagram page.

This was a personal project that I designed and animated.
