🎨 What Is 36 Days of Type?
36 Days of Type is a global design challenge where creatives illustrate a letter or number each day for 36 days. It’s a visual celebration of typography, pushing the boundaries of type design with personal style, storytelling, and experimentation.
🖌️ Our Illustrated Approach
For this edition, we took a whimsical, illustration-first approach to each character. Here's what makes our collection stand out:
-
Distinct Styles: Each letter/number explores a different theme, from surreal to minimalist
-
Mixed Mediums: A blend of digital drawing, vector art, and textured effects
-
Concept-Driven: Letters are inspired by real-world objects, emotions, and cultural elements
-
Color-Forward: Bold palettes bring every character to life with personality
🔡 Highlights from the Series

A – Apple core meets abstract geometry
