Type Tools

Exploring the influence of analog tools on design, the project "Type Tools" examined everyday objects for their design potential. What shapes and structures can these tools create, and how can they be used in typography?
During their first semester with Sandra Doeller at HS Mainz, students created 19 typefaces (A-Z, 0-9) through analog experiments, which were later used in poster designs. The project encourages discovering new design possibilities by breaking with conventional methods.
