Cocotype is a modular typeface. Its name is derived from the song ‘Coconut’ by Harry Nilsson. The typeface can be transformed in a tool named DrawBot and is made with Python. Although extremely changeable in shape according to various parameters that, Cocotype is goofy in every single form it can appear in.

A set of type templates made out of transparent plexiglass was created with this tool. The templates can be used to trace the shapes by hand and play with the typeface.
