A typeface for those who wish to let their rage loose onto the world
Reflection
By creating a typeface centered around the emotion of anger that is able to react to loud noises, feelings of rage can now be captured in designs through not only words, but through the design of the typeface as well.

The Problem
There’s only so much that can be done with written words that convey the emotion of anger, and with the vast array of typefaces that exist in the world there are few that aim to capture that emotion through their design.
The Solution
Create a reactive typeface that captures the feelings of anger through not only its explosive design, but also how it can be utilized in sound-based applications, since anger is often associated with loud noises.

Diagonal Explosion
Sound Reactivity
The explosion on each letterform, number, and symbols are able to react to sound. The louder the sound, the larger the explosion becomes.
If an extremely loud sound is paired with the typeface, the explosion can break away from the type, leaving the shattered variant of Explosivo in its place
