Sprecher #typo13: Tricia Treacy & Ashley John Pigford Touch Wood

Tricia Treacy und Ashley John Pigford machten sich im vergangenen Herbst an die gemeinschaftiche Erforschung des Wechselspiels zwischen ehrwürdig-archaischer und experimentell-intelligenter Technik. Ihre Bemühungen galten der Entwicklung einer Form der typografischen Gestaltung, die beide – den traditionellen und den modernen Produktionsprozess tief in der Schriftform verwurzelt. Ashley brachte seine Erfahrung in der digitalen Produktion im interaktiven Design und im Buchdruck ein. Tricia griff auf ihre Erfahrungen mit digitalen Medien, Grafik und Buchdruck zurück. So entstand das Vista Sans Wood Type Projekt.
