Display Typeface for the 36 Days of Type Challenge
One display face, multiple eras: optical art, Blackletter, dry-brush, and sign painting in a single alphabet
Fontfabric released 36 Days in October 2019 as a single-style display typeface inspired by the global 36 Days of Type challenge. Five designers drew from a wide historical range—Victor Vasarely's optical art, Penrose's impossible objects, copperplate script, Blackletter, dry-brush Eastern techniques, sign painting, and technological elements—producing an experimental display font with extended Latin and OpenType support.
