Detail of the 'Time' art project: Clock
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: (…)
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war; and a time of peace.
(Ecclesiastes 3:7-8)
Based on this phrase from the Bible I made this cardboard.There is so much wisdom in this phrase that I decided to make a typographic project from it. This was my first big experiment with black letters on a white background with fineliner and marker.
I tried to let the typography tell the story: I love trying to say something not only with words but also with typography. ‘A time to tear’ is at the top of the cardboard: the letters are actually tearing themselves. Looking at the ‘time to sew’ in the middle, you will see that it is actually made of threads, curling and forming words. War and hate are written in big black fonts, while peace and love are made of lighter capitals. And ‘a time to speak’ and ‘to keep silence’ form a sound symbol, together with the hourglass.
In the central you can read the moral of the story: “what time is it?” It can be time of war or time of peace today; this can change from minute to minute. The crack right through the cardboard stands for the enormous difference between all these contradictions and the strange way in which they belong together.
If you take a closer look to the clock you’ll see it’s actually not a clock. You will see the numbers 21, 3, 7 and 8. These numbers refer to the place of the text in the Bible: the 21st book, 3rd chapter, 7th and 8th verse.

Web typography? Sounds good, but looks awful! How to recognise poor web typography? Why is it that micro-typography on the Internet lags centuries behind? What is the connection between text lines and Laurel & Hardy? Why is web typography actually a misleading designation?
This newspaper tells in a nutshell what designers should keep in mind when deciding on typography for web users, including key design-elements and often overlooked facts.

A type family originally developed for New York’s Whitney Museum, Whitney contends with two different sets of demands: those of editorial typography, and those of public signage.
Typefaces for catalogs and brochures need to be narrow enough to work in crowded environments, yet energetic enough to encourage extended reading. But typefaces designed for wayfinding programs need to be open enough to be legible at a distance, and sturdy enough to withstand a variety of fabrication techniques: fonts destined for signage need to anticipate being cast in bronze, etched in glass, cut in vinyl, and rendered in pixels.
While American “gothics” such as News Gothic (1908) have long been a mainstay of editorial settings, and European “humanists” such as Frutiger (1975) have excelled in signage applications, Whitney bridges this divide in a single design. Its compact forms and broad x-height use space efficiently, and its ample counters and open shapes make it clear under any circumstances.
