Black. White.A commented type design.A graduation project by Thomas Junold
__
Black and white. Black glyphs, white counters. Black lines of text, white space as design element. Black type on white paper. Type as an element of comunication. Unified and simplified forms, that change along ever-changing technology? Typefaces as mediators of emotion or pure information. What makes a typeface readable and what makes a pure display typeface pleasant? Are typeface superfamilies with more that a hundered styles user friendly or a blessing or a curse? Serifed or unserifed? What is more modern? Are we the children of Helvetica or Frutiger, or the grandchildren of Garamond and Bodoni? Can a sensitivity to the power of type be learned?A typeface as a proof, equipped for sensible use, and questioned by the market already during its conception. Feedback and integration of these questions in the typeface.
