Typografie und Raum Eine typografische Suche

This project investigates the effect of three-dimensional fonts, how they are readable, what they feel like – as well as the way they can be used both as lettering and as objects in architecture or in interior or product design. «Evolution»: two letters in a pixel model in 3D. «Alphabet»: readable from a very wide angle of vision. Grouped fragments of letters can be combined into new forms. «Boxes»: letters in the form of Chinese boxes, conveying an encrypted message. The nine spatial «mutants»: all 26 letters of the alphabet can be represented.
Comments of the nominators
This clever feasibility study is imaginatively stimulating. Its treatment of a set of tools and the choice of materials open up a wide field of new applications.
