Type with an Accent

Ariane Spanier

About this video

Description

Join Ariane as she explores accents in design, approaching typography as a place where voice and identity are formed and negotiated. Through her practice across cultural projects and her ongoing work on FUKT, including the design of typographic covers for the magazine, she reflects on how rules and expression interact in typography. She explains how typographic choices can carry tone, origin and attitude, and what this means for authorship and voice in design.
