Noise Type: The Distorted Typography Sweatshirt Collection

Project Overview

Bold. Abstract. Unfiltered. “Noise Type” is a gritty, monochromatic sweatshirt series rooted in experimental graphic design and postmodern print aesthetics. The collection explores the tension between clarity and chaos, using broken fonts, scattered letters, and layered wordforms to express motion, mood, and mental noise. Perfect for streetwear rebels, design purists, and typographic artists.

Year of Completion: 2025

Graphic Design

Each sweatshirt bursts with distorted black typography, layered like a paste-up wall in motion words over words, thoughts over thoughts. The pieces feature dense textures of deconstructed fonts, spray paint effects, fractured alignment, and faded text overlays. Though partially unreadable, the chaos is intentional it symbolizes the visual noise of modern life and the fragmented way we absorb messages.
