SHELVETICA

Experimental project which suggests the addition of typographic characters to the historical typography Helvetica.
These characters are fusions of masculine and femenine terminations in the Catalan language, creating those non-binary terminations.
Consequently, it explores the possibility of treating typography as a tool for change, making non-binary texts.
Then, these characters were 3D printed so they could be used in movable-type printing.
