Speakloop Typography Project

Speakloop is an experimental typography project that aims to explore Motion as the most important visual element. Giving it the control over the shape, form and behavior in every single one of this typography exercises. To design the system, Carlo Cadenas focused on movement first and then the visual style of the type. The result is a very extense variable of letters and numbers based on motion design. I decided to publish the project along the 4th Edition of the 36 Days of Type 2017.
