(2011) Duplicator, typeface
Duplicator is a general-purpose sans-serif. Its name references the typeface’s anticipated context — short-run publications printed on a Risograph stencil duplicator, a printer with a distinctively rough printing quality for which this typeface was designed.
With guidance from Cyrus Highsmith.
(in progress) Dialog, conversational Tumblr
Dialog is a conversational Tumblr theme built for two. It was inspired by a collection of Benjamin Franklin's correspondence, Experiments and Observations on Electricity, Made at Philadelphia in America, and considers a contemporary form that allows conversation to become simultaneous with publication.
