Once a year, 36days invites designers, illustrators, and artists to share their perspectives on the letters and numbers of the Latin alphabet. The following animated letters and numbers were coded with Processing, sometimes utilizing "Euclid" and "Suisse" from Swiss Typefaces as base fonts. The full animations were uploaded on Instagram.
The animations were created using three different methods: The first involved rasterizing the characters into simple shapes, the second method employed a grid to manually draw geometric shapes, and the last one was inspired by the moiré effect.
