Designer Anu Manohar turned the 36 Days of Type challenge into a joyful 3D playground of geometry and color. Each letter and number, built from simple forms like spheres, cubes, and cylinders, celebrates balance, tactility, and play. With a palette of soft gradients and bold hues, Manohar transforms typography into sculptural art—letters that feel as satisfying to touch as they are to see. The series captures her signature blend of discipline and delight, showing how constraint can spark limitless creativity.

Each day of the challenge brought a new chance to experiment—sometimes structured, sometimes spontaneous. As the series unfolded, patterns began to emerge: rounded edges, floating forms, and joyful contrasts that made the collection feel cohesive yet full of surprise. Together, these 36 characters form more than just an alphabet—they’re a celebration of play as process, and proof that creative growth often starts with a single simple shape.
