Distype

Distype is the result of a process of experimentation based on the simulation of the devastating effects of climate change on the planet as a method through which to find new typographic forms. It is a practical project in which design is presented as a tool for experimentation through which to find new forms of communication with typography.

The project is articulated around four paths of experimentation that give rise to the design of six alphabets, which become a reflection of different ways in which the increase in temperature alters the original typography and gives rise to the creation of new forms. The process of experimentation and the six alphabets is collected in a graphic piece that becomes a hybrid between a typographic specimen and a publication.
