NOTES ON THE TYPE, TIME, LETTERS y SPIRITS

Three interconnected palimpsest essays recount (1) the backstory of a meta font recently updated by Dexter Sinister and used to ty peset the Contemporary Condition book series, (2) a broad history of the rationalization of letterforms that considers the same type face from a higher point of disinterest, and (3) a pending proposal for a sundial designed to operate in parallel physical and dig ital realms. Along the way they contemplate the ambiguous nature of our shared idea of *time* itself.
