Plain Form

From fiction to theory, from mystical analyses to visual works, Plain Text explores typographic imaginaries, moving beyond a strictly historical and technical framework, with a taste for the unknown and the dormant potential of writing. This third issue looks at typography as a multiple practice, from rhythms and ornaments to asemic writing, absent letters, and unseen worlds.

With: Benjamin Dumond, Eugénie Bidaut, Luther R. Marsh, Laurent Mbaah, Mălin Neamțu, Mathis Borel, Alex Balgiu, Johanna Drucker, Gabriele Čepulytė, Hélène Marian, Lucas Descroix, Mankun Guo, and Ariel Martín Pérez.

From fiction to theory, from mystical analyses to visual works, Plain Text explores typographic imaginaries, moving beyond a strictly historical and technical framework, with a taste for the unknown and the dormant potential of writing. This second issue looks at writing systems, restless letters, historical sources, typographic dialogues, research, and the many ways type can borrow from elsewhere.
