Wrinkling typeface-experiment #textile #typeface #fold

The typeface is a “graphical fold” on an experimental level based on the phenomenon of wrinkling when writing on textile with a felt pen. From the Typeface “House” by Oliver Häusle, wooden templates of each letter and some special characters were made in order to concentrate on the phenomenon of wrinkling. The textile interpretations of the typeface were created on a piece of cotton fabric that is about 6 meters long. The large piece of fabric can be folded and fixed in a 1m x 1.5m frame and presented as a poster.

This is one part next to two other pojects that deal with textile phenomena in certain contexts and in particular with “The Fold”.
