TYPExSCREENPRINT
An exploration of typographic history through screen printing
Inspired by the incredible resources of the Cary Collection at R.I.T., this project is an exploration of slab serif typography, typographic ornament, and type-as-image through the medium of screen printing. My goals are twofold: to learn how to screen print(!) and to explore the historic roots of slab serif typefaces as well as a range of typeographic ornaments. The end goal is to create a series of zines focusing on the history of these typefaces, and a poster series featuring range of type-focused compositions uninhibited by the traditional boundaries of letterpress.
