36 Days of Type is a project that invites Designers, Illustrators and Graphic Artists to express their particular view on letters and numbers of our alphabet.
36 days of restless creativity, where participants are challenged to design a letter or number each day, resulting an outcome of the ability to represent the same symbol from many different perspectives.
A project that aims to be a space for creation around typography and its endless graphic possibilities.
I dedicated the series to my favourite music genre/era, post-hardcore. The idea is that hardcore bands commonly uses blackletter type as logos and titles, and my alphabet is based on blackletter forms but it's something else than those. Just like post-hardcore is based on hardcore, yet different.
I created many variations on each letter, and my series has two endpoints regarding that, the first is closer to blackletter, more squared and sharp, the other is far away from that, more rounded and soft.

Short selection.
I’ve also re-created some covers of post-hardcore albums to showcase my letters.
They are based on the original artworks and using the same images.
