Antiglitch Foundation
Papanapa · André Arruda, Daniela Chun, Gustavo Garcia
A bespoke experimental typeface designed for a Brazilian post-production studio, where each letterform is built from two contrasting weights to evoke 8-bit pixel language and the visual noise of digital glitches.
About
Designed by Papanapa as part of a full visual identity for Antiglitch Foundation, the typeface draws on film concepts of montage, fragmentation and conflict. Each letter combines two weights, producing a distinctive split-weight structure that functions both as a logotype and as a repeating graphic texture across the identity system. The visual language references low-resolution half-tones and 8-bit aesthetics to reflect the studio's specialisation in locating and resolving image errors.
Classification
Custom experimental display typeface where each letter is composed of two weights, drawing from 8-bit pixel aesthetics and glitch visual language. The letterforms function as both typography and graphic texture, placing it firmly in the display/experimental category.
