Experimental Typography
COUNTERS was a disruptive typographic atelier designed to push the boundaries of legibility and subvert the utilitarian function of letterforms. 

Participants were encouraged to find captivating shapes in the most unlikely places, which would then be used to form a coherent digital alphabet. Ultimately, this was an exercise in expanding our ways of seeing, allowing exciting things to be revealed in the most unlikely places.

From the glass door of an abandoned shop on a busy Lisbon street, I looked twice at the shapes created by old white paint on clear glass. These quirky shapes became the basis of my exercise. I used them to create a fun and wobbly typeface that aims to challenge letterforms and their relationship to each other.
