an exploration of modular typographic system as metaphor and guardian of gender non-binaries.
Modular: Claiming Typographic Trancestors in the Archive
Modular type systems are the cult classic of the typography and lettering worlds. This 2023 lecture hopes to introduce you to an approach to forming letters that you may have never known you wanted.
In it, I explore the strategies of metal modular typefaces, share a survey of contemporary approaches to modularity, and touch on the challenges of modular systems in digital media.
I also show examples of several modular type systems in use as a metaphor for transgender, non-binary gender diversity.
