Back in Black
What if a song could be portrayed as a typeface? 

I did a project on what if we could portray a song as a typeface. I used three songs and made  typefaces for them. I also made multiple type specimens and put them in context.

I made this typeface for the song back in black based on the pitch levels of the song and the excitement felt while listening to the song. I wanted to portray the high shrieks and goosebumps felt while listening the song. So I created letter forms that that are irregular and jump at you to depict the upbeat song.

I made a lyric video as a type specimen and used electrifying colours to showcase the electrifying music. I have also made a context image, where the lyric video could be used like a concert.
