What is it about?
The purpose of the workshop is to raise awareness about the use (and abuse) of typography and typographic alteration, the in-depht analysis of typometric issues related to character design, and the creation of synergies and contaminations between the making world and the typography one.
What will we work on?
The output of the lab will be a typeface as the result of the hacking of another starting character, based on a meaning intention agreed with the participants. It will also possible to grind / cut / print in 3D some words (or letters) that will be made.
How does it work?
Participants will work on the alteration of a typeface by analyzing its drawing through typometric surveys, and then redrawing some glyphs (or features).
The IT tool we'll use is Fontlab (or an equivalent software).
