THE SNAKE
TYPOGRAPHY • MOTION GRAPHIC
Snake is a collection of typefaces I made to capture the elements and interactions of the snake game. To represent the playfulness of the typeface, I decided to tell a story of snake game evolution in my project. I chose to use magazine spread design and motion graphics as the primary methods for presenting this font series.

01.
ORIGINAL TYPEFACE
I create 3–5 variant typefaces for each individual letter based on the way the Snake game is played on an 8x8 grid. As my original typeface, I chose the one that looks the most consistent and unique for each letter.
02.
Alternate Alphabet
The charm of the snake game is in its playability and unpreditability. Every player plans their next move differently on the 8x8 grid. As such, I chose another series as an alternative alphabet for my font.
03.
DEAD Alphabet
However, there’s always an end to any game. For the snake game, when the snake touches itself, the game is over! Therefore, I envision the snake's demise in the original typeface, which inspired the creation of this font series.
