INSPIRED BY ORGANIC SHAPES

For my 36 Days of Type entry in 2023, I emphasized the use of organic shapes to develop my letterforms. In addition, I also implemented an additional two-step process that added depth and character.

36 DAYS OF TYPE 2020

36 Days of Type has been a challenge that I've occasionally taken on over the years to push the boundaries of legibility, shape and form. Other than this entry in 2022, I also made one in 2020 that was selected as one of the top 6 winners of the Adobe x 36 Days of Type Contest that year.
