35 CITY CIRCLE TRAM
Typeface Design |City Experiment, 2024

This project aims to experiment with the 35 City Circle tram in Melbourne to explore the relationship between sound and the city. The design involves recording soundtracks at each tram station, capturing brief moments of the journey, including conversations, bell rings, announcements, and the sounds of the rail tracks. By translating these auditory experiences into visual graphics, the design created both digital and hand-drawn sound wave representations based on my impressions of the recordings. Utilising various visual elements—dots, lines, and planes—the graphics convey the atmospheric qualities of the sounds and serve as the foundation for developing a new typeface.
