Mitim,
the font for Dot
Dot Dot magazine, has grown and
developed with each new issue of the magazine in response to the changing conditions of its production. How did you come up with
that idea of developing a font? Also, what discoveries did you make during its
development?
The idea was to connect the
typeface to written words so it would become one thing—something
like a voice. It was the right idea for the time as it was
exploring what digital type can be: fluid, adaptable, never fixed or forced into
a definitive form. For me personally,
this project was big learning exercise. I have never studied type design, so
through challenging projects like this I have learned most of these
skills. The fact that things had to be done rather quickly to meet the
deadline, and at the same time, there was this opportunity to improve Mitim for
next issue of Dot Dot Dot, was quite unique.
