TYPECON: BIOMORPH
The Typecon conference is committed to promoting, studying, and supporting typography and related arts.
The objective of this project was to establish and convey an identity for the event, drawing inspiration from the works of the selected speakers: Armin Hoffman, Alex Ortiga, Patrick Hubner, and Yeonhyun Ahn.
The concept is rooted in biomorphism, a style that emulates naturally occurring patterns and shapes found in nature and living organisms. Additionally, the concept incorporates elements from the field of coding, which possesses the capability to forge innovative pathways.

Project Nature: Fictional
NATURALLY OCURRING
TypeCon Biomorphism models artistic design elements on naturally occurring patterns or shapes reminiscent of nature and living organisms. Taken to its extreme it attempts to force naturally occurring shapes onto functional devices.
ADAPTABILITY
Like nature generates new organic structures based on specific set of patterns and characteristics, designers can modify and adapt typography with new technology such as code to create experimental biomorphic type.
