Same Same but Different: National perspectives on a common heritage, the latin script

Fritz Grögel

Besides the typographic culture of the printed book there exists a parallel culture of lettering in public spaces. Even though this second sphere pervades our daily life and hence our sensitivity with regards to letterforms, it found little representation in the literature on type history. And yet lettering in public spaces reveals many culture-specific differences… Continue reading Same Same but Different: National perspectives on a common heritage, the latin script

Typo Belgiëque: Forgotten [type] foundries of Belgium in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

Jo De Baerdemaeker

Belgian typographic design has often been overshadowed by styles from surrounding countries. Can we define one specific “Belgian style”, or should we follow claims that it is fragmented, and merely influenced by characteristics of other international typographic styles? Typo Belgiëque aims to outline the visual design identity of Belgium in the nineteenth and twentieth century… Continue reading Typo Belgiëque: Forgotten [type] foundries of Belgium in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

Notre Dame, continuer l’histoire

Des signes des tailleurs de pierre aux inscriptions lapidaires, la cathédrale est palimpseste. L’enjeu d’une écriture dans un tel lieu est d’être lisible sans pour autant s’afficher, d’être juste dans la diffusion d’informations sans devenir une information elle-même. C’est donc en partant de l’architecture même qu’il faut imaginer la parole se déployer. C’est par un… Continue reading Notre Dame, continuer l’histoire

Ghost, Glitch, or Muse?: Designing with fallible machines

Lynne Yun

As a cross-disciplinary studio with a focus on creative coding, Space Type often works with less-than-ideal machines in the process of making generative typographic experiences. We encounter failures daily in our work as programmers and designers, and it can be a struggle to translate our pencil sketches into the digital. Through the process of working… Continue reading Ghost, Glitch, or Muse?: Designing with fallible machines
