Download a Free Escher-inspired Typeface, by Manolo Guerrero

  • by Harry Davies @harry_davies

The Mexican designer has created a typeface from the alphabet he designed for 36 Days of Type and he’s sharing it for free

36 Days of Type–the challenge that invites graphic creators from around the world to design an alphabet, making one letter a day for over a month and publishing it on their Instagram profiles–is an incredible opportunity to get inspired and see how others approach the same brief in a completely different way, adapting it to their own styles and skills. It’s also the perfect breeding ground for projects like this typeface by Manolo Guerrero (@bluetypo), the Mexican graphic designer who heads Blue Typo who has shared it completely free for anyone who wants to use it.

It’s a completely experimental typeface with which Guerrero wanted to play with perspective, creating a design reminiscent of Escher’s most interesting work.

Guerrero used processing "to generate the extrusion of letters in different perspectives, in order to export vector files", a technique that he explains in his Domestika course Experimental Typographic Design with Processing, and that allowed him to merge the letter faces to create the effect of the alphabet’s perspectives.

Once he had finished the design of each letter, he transferred it to Glyphs and converted the file into tif and otf formats so anybody could use them in their usual design programs on their computers.
