XYZ - Modes of encountering 3D born typographic form

​This practice-led research is an investigation of form, operating within the field of experimental typography and 3D modeling. The specific aim of the thesis is the analysis and experimentation of three-dimensional born typography and what that implies in terms of viewer experience; the shift from letter-form to object-form to image-form and the implications on reading - viewing - perceiving. The practice situates within the larger field of discursive design and the purpose of the practical outcomes is discursive. The function of this study is to inquire into how one might encounter and interact with three-dimensional born typographic form.
