The Unauthorized Repair Of The World – Typespecimen

Ever again, something in need of repair? By reclaiming discarded, broken, leftover, or found materials, we reimagine their potential, using them to create initial compositions through experimental offset printing. From these freeform experiments, we discover how shapes tell stories, fit together, and define the character of a typeface. This hands-on exploration of cutting, layering, recomposing and repairing shapes creates new letterforms with the potential to evolve into functional typefaces.
