New Typographic
Design
The book features seven FL@33 projects in the categories Type as
Image and Type in Motion.
One of the featured projects is a previously unreleased typographic experiment. It was created in 2004 and fine-tuned in late
2006 for the book New Typographic Design. The typeface is based on a
mechanical, grid-based alphabet found on signage and information city displays – including Paris where we first noticed them. We designed animated sequences to show how it could be
used in different environments. Some of the stills and a
little animation test are shown here.
