Glossy

How do we read, see, perceive and understand the visual world that surrounds us? 

How do we learn and relearn through breaking down and mimicking otherwise familiar shapes? 

During one September week, the Graphic Design course of Krabbesholm was transformed into a turbo-typographical-kitchen, in which the alphabet was deconstructed and rebuilt through a set of essential ingredients. This attention begged for the question: how can we challenge our existing knowledge of the alphabet through form and language, and how do we call, classify or name a font? As a result, a collectively produced typeface, Glossy Krabbesholm, was designed as a new “cut” of the typeface, Glossy Magazine, by Bold Decisions. Following this, a publication with type specimens of each letter was designed, riso-printed, bound and displayed in the department.
