36 Days of Type(s of Playing Cards)
36 Days of Type is a yearly open call to visual artists that explores the creative boundaries of letterforms by challenging participants to design a letter or number each day for 36 consecutive days. The result is a global and simultaneous act that showcases the ability to represent the same symbols from thousands of different perspectives. Read more about the project here.
This 2023 series showcases an often overlooked element of playing card design that has a wonderfully rich history and evolution of typography — the index! I wanted to design a unique take on historically (and regionally) accurate playing card indices, along with a full front and back design that complements the idea for each day.
