Often
abbreviated to SSS
Other,
less-used, names for it are Sequence-spatial, Sequence-space and Visuo-spatial synesthesia
1. Calendar synesthesia (time-space synesthesia)
2. Number form synesthesia
3. Letter form (or alphabet form) synesthesia
4. Spatial visualisation of other sequences (school subjects, books
of the Bible and signs of the zodiac are a few examples).
"Spatial sequencers" perceive the months, dates, numbers, letters or other elements in a
sequence in the physical space around them or in front of them. Apart
from spatial position, these elements may also have their own colour, texture
and shape. Projectors (a minority) see their sequences
literally outside their own body space, while associators see them
in the mind’s eye but not physically. Although the exact
spatial arrangement is different for each person, it is consistent and
tends to remain the same throughout their lifetime. The visual configuration
of the sequences can be relatively simple, highly complex or anything in between:
the elements might be on a horizontal, vertical or diagonal plane, in a ring or
spiralling out of sight, progressing from left to right or vice versa and
sometimes with many sudden or gradual changes of direction. Typically,
the subject’s viewpoint can vary and the perspective can shift when necessary, so
the synesthete feels that they are standing in front of the current month of
the year, for example, with the rest of the months positioned accordingly and
some of them even behind them and out of sight.

Hi - I just found out a Substacker - Jay Rollins - has this type of syn.
