(00) This experimental type project explores how meaning shifts with context. Built from a custom high-contrast display font where binary pixels meet calligraphic flair, each word explores the dual meanings words have with every interaction. Every pixel is a container for interpretation; hover over “beef,” and watch it become protein or a full-blown “X” meltdown. Typography that can respond, redefine, and reflect the fluidity of the world we read in.

A picture says a thousand words but what if a word could hold a thousand pictures?
