CONTEXT
In this self-initiated project, I reimagined the popular "36 Days of Type" challenge through an Industrial designer's lens, creating each Alphabet with materials whose names begin with the same letter.

From Acrylic for 'A' to Brass for 'B' and even Cow Dung for 'D', this experimental exploration allowed me to work with over 36 different materials & multiple techniques in just two months.

This project challenged conventional approaches to typography and industrial design, creating a unique intersection between language, materiality, and form.

IMPACT
The project received significant attention for its innovative approach to material exploration and interdisciplinary thinking, demonstrating how design constraints can spark unexpected creativity.
