Amazônia

The Brazilian Legal Amazon now has its own brand identity, created to strengthen its nine states as a national and international tourism destination. A living brand, co-created with Amazonian artists and built from the real coordinates of the region's rivers.

I've contributed to the project with Igaratype, a custom type tool that writes using Amazon rivers as letters. Besides becoming one of the brand's main assets, the tool is public for everyone to use.

CREATIVE PROCESS

Following Amazônia's creation with real rivers, Igaratype was developed as a variable type system published as a public webpage.
The alphabet includes arabic numerals, four accents, and all latin letters with up to four variations for each character. The results can be exported as images, vectors, videos or image sequences.
