We use typography every day to exchange all types of messages. It is an instrument of communication and a factor of social cohesion. It is based on conventions known to all, that allow easy reading of the information. What will happen if one challenges these conventions? How and why could we design a typeface that does not comply with the rules?

Steps

Choose a mode of alteration of signs
Draw and vectorize a coherent alphabet
Generate a real typographical font
Use the typeface in a real context showing its relevance.
