Talk:
Analog Letterforms to the Nth Degree
with Edward Fella
My fascination with the seemingly unlimited variety of forms that a proscribed letterform can take before it becomes illegible and ultimately just a trace. This presentation is a quick career long traverse, with examples ranging from what is still communicative graphic design to a fanciful purposelessness, which could be called art.
This talk is scheduled as part of the main Typographics conference schedule. You must register for the Typographics conference to attend.
