36 Days of Type 2020

36 Days of Type 2020

Art History Edition

This year was my first attempt at the popular Instagram letter design challenge started by Studio Treinta y Seis in Barcelona.

I decided to merge my love of lettering with my unbridled art history obsession to create a set of letters each representing a different era or technique in art history.

For the numbers, I chose to reflect the graphic style of each decade they correspond to.
