36 Days of Type | 2023
For the 2023 edition of 36 Days of Type, I set out to develop a procedural pipeline for unique, organic typography. My process began in Illustrator, where I designed blobby letterforms specifically optimized for inflation and soft-body dynamics.
The technical core of the project was built in Houdini, where I created (with the help of Alex Liou) a robust Vellum solver setup. I imported my custom splines and set up a system that required minimal adjustment to achieve consistent, high-fidelity inflation across the entire alphabet. This project pushed me deep into Houdini and I learned a lot about dynamics and Redshift rendering. The result is a cohesive collection of tactile, animated forms that bridge the gap between graphic design and physics based simulation.
