Résumé

Designers have always had a love affair with type, and with the proliferation of digital tools for grapic formations, this relationship has intensified.

Typography is becoming more experimental and varied as a medium for communication and personal expression. Many seee this as a liberation from the constraints of the grid and rules of legibility, making it possible to restore elements of expression and meaning in letters. In the same spirit, Typomofo showcases works tht demonstrate how type today has morphed into a new breed of expressive graphic design. From ink - drawn scripts to duct-tape graffiti lettering, the works are divides into four chapters : freom type projects that evoke a handmade aesthetic, to digital illustrations, to mixed-media typographic wokrs, and the unconventional use of conventional type. With projects ranging from radical experiments to large-scale graphic installations, as well as details of their design process, typomofo reveals how recent typographical forms are conceptualised and creatively applied a s a graphic device to form symbolic images and patterns; to be the message rather than just its conveyor. Typomofo seeks to be an inspiring source for those who are keen in the creative possibilities of type as part of a more sophisticated visual langage that communicates and intrigues.
