Usage
Ulcerate is an experimental variable display typeface shaped by biological disruption. It is designed for large-scale use, where its shifting weight, distortion, and transformation can be fully experienced. Rather than aiming for traditional readability, it invites interpretation. This typeface is meant to be seen, studied, and felt. It works best in contexts where typography carries meaning beyond the words themselves, including editorial design, exhibition graphics, research publications, and projects that explore the body, illness, cellular behavior, or personal narrative. Ulcerate is especially suited for science and art museum spaces, where it can be presented as a large-scale moving display or a looping video installation showing how each letter mimics cellular behavior. It can also be displayed as if seen through a microscope, connecting the act of reading to the process of scientific observation. Each letter behaves differently, expanding and deforming much like the cells that inspired them. Ulcerate bridges the space between biology and visual communication, offering a way to explore the relationship between form and function, language and transformation. The typeface can be used by design students, typographers, educators, researchers, and biologists who want to communicate or teach hyperplasia through accessible visual tools. It also invites artists and designers to use type not only for communication, but as a way to express process, disruption, and complexity.
