Uranium glass typeface design - 36days of typography

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

A yearly open call exploring the creative boundaries of letterforms, where participants are challenged to design a letter or number each day for 36 consecutive days, as a global and simultaneous act showing the outcome of the ability to represent the same symbols from thousands different perspectives.

A project that aims to be a space for creation around typography and its endless graphic possibilities.

For the year 2021 I was inspired by the captivating glow of Uranium glass to create an abstract font. 

Uranium glass also known as vaseline glass is glassware that has uranium added to the glass mix before melting for colouration. Giving it a green glow under a UV light.
