About the Typeface




Visual Development





Spades - Pseudo-unipolar Neurons

Sensory neurons with cell bodies mostly located in our spinal area.

 

Hearts - Bipolar Neurons

Bipolar neurons are sensory neurons which transmits information related to sight, smell, or hearing.


Clubs - Multipolar Neurons

Neurons typically found in our brains. Roughly saying, clusters of multipolar neurons process
infomation inside our brain.



Diamonds - Glial Cells
Glial cells are non-neuronal cells that support and protect neurons in the nervous system. Without them, neurons fails to transduct any signals, and won’t retain any structural integrity.


Jokers - Neural Progenitor Cells

Neural progenitor cells are the precursor of all neurons and glial cells. They are responsible for the development of the brain and spinal cord, and play a role in learning and memory in adults
