Deconstructing Legibility
Deconstructing Legibility

When we talk about legibility, what should we say? Deconstructing legibility is a collaborative project composed of four chapters that explore, experiment, and play with the boundaries of typeface legibility.

Two typefaces have been used in this experiment, and each chapter can be understood as a move to decrease the leigibity.

Chatper 1Laser Cut
A laser cut is our first move to decrease legibility. Although the accuracy of laser cutting stands out among other cutting methods, the high temperature of the laser still causes burns and an inaccurate contour of the typeface.

Chatper 2Glass MakingThe second move is making the glass letterpress. Due to the nature of hot glass, we attempt to maintain the temperature-based fluidity of glass while running fast in order to let glass stay at it’s best temperature. The best method is to glue a stick on laser-cut letters and press them in sand, spray syrup on sand and burn it in order to keep it solid (as the glass might change it’s shape), and pour hot glass into our model.

Chatper 3LetterpressingThe third move was to test various materials that are reasonable for the printing process.The glass letterpress has become our main tool to test on the last step of deconstructing legibility: printing.


Chatper 4Visualizing DeconstructionThe final step is to visualize our experiment. We decided to highlight the typeface's decreased legibility using four 'posters' that correspond to the four chapters. It's interesting to note that, despite the fact that we used two different typefaces, which can still be seen in the first poster, legibility begins to wane, leaving only the basic structures of each letter (san-serif!!!).
