Breeze

Human exceptionalism blinds us. In the Anthropocenentric mind, we are separate from the natural world, but what humans construct is never left untouched by nature. It is eroded, swept away, and pushed against by the wind. What was created will be transformed.

Homesick

in general we are reminded that the word heimlich is not unambiguous, but belongs to two sets of ideas, which, without being contradictory, are yet very different: on the one hand it means what is familiar and agreeable, and on the other, what is concealed and kept out of sight.

Peristalsis

Coleslaw can be gross. It’s a bowl of wet, cold, mayonnaise-ey, creamy and cruciferous-ly midwestern delight. Even the ingredients can trigger the very form of gastrointestinal bloating itself. But our type foundry isn’t just a bowl of coleslaw, it’s a bowl of cool slaw because we’re cool.

THE VOID

The void extracts the element of magic and derives the idea of emptiness. It is the magic of space, the limitation of dimension to create this font, is multiple dimensions are combined and reorganized to form the most special existence in the universe.
