Ok I have to admit I really don’t understand the nature of this question so my answers may seem a little glib, but what is a toxic or washable font?
Can I produce a font that is edible?
Can I produce a font that causes people to have an epilectic fit?
Can I produce a font that brings tears to your eyes, in a good way that is?
Can I produce a font that people would want to wear?
Can I produce a font that makes your hair shiny?
Can I produce a font that will make me squillions of dollars?
Exercise 3
Handwritten lettering; well for this I handwrote my letters then cut them out with a scapel and then I made a stencil of them and spray painted them and also some other treatments. Not sure how successful they are but they definitely look like my handwriting which is messy. I wanted to try some ink versions of my fav font but no ink so that will have to wait.
Exercise 4
Here are a couple of experiments with making letters, one is some wooden drawing models and the other some wool.
Hi Miranda 0- thanks for your enthusiastic contributions to the blog - you have some nice material experiments but as you say we need to address your concerns on the question component of the exercises. This is really about trying to set almost a hypothesis like a scientist might so that any experiments can be weighed against this hypothesis, this helps guide your investigations so that you hopefully produce a range of typography experiments that then innovate around notions of what fonts, letters, language and can do in our day to day lives
