36 Days of Type is an annual project that invites designers, illustrators, and artists to share their unique interpretations of the alphabet and numbers. I participated for two consecutive years, using the challenge as an opportunity to experiment with typographic form, structure, and visual storytelling.
The personal challenge was to push beyond decorative lettering and create explorations that merged type with unexpected conceptual systems.
Year 1: Explored letterforms as part of an exquisite corpse, creating hybrid compositions that reimagined the alphabet through shared structural elements.
Year 2: Experimented with a collage-like mashup of letters and familiar objects. The idea was to make viewers “see” everyday shapes differently by embedding them into the structure of type.
Across both editions, I treated typography as both a modular system and a visual metaphor, developing consistency through recurring shapes and color palettes.
The result was a series of 36 letter and number designs each year, blending type with illustration, collage, and object-based visual metaphors. The sets reveal how typography can transcend readability and become a tool for play, discovery, and reinterpretation.
