The master thesis describes a free design experiment using different media, which has developed over time into a modular system consisting of two components: The self-designed font produced by 3D printing is associated with a multitude of physical processes.
Concept
The research basis of the Master’s thesis is the experimental handling of writing and ephemeral materials. The interplay of typography as a system of signs to convey information will be investigated in combination with self-forming processes of material change. The focus is on the resulting design and application potential for various media.
Realisation
In addition to an experimental box, the book documents the search for constants for experiments, the design of writing, studies on various physical phenomena, the development of 3D printing models, and the development of the book’s own laboratory. References to the corresponding website show the cinematic staging of the experiments.





The modular system of font and selected material processes allows new letter combinations to be generated repeatedly creating a shifting overall impression. In this way, the otherwise static and reduced representation of information receives a complex and dynamic appearance.






The project consciously uses accents from digital applications and translates them analogously. Not only the acronyms of the models are common abbreviations from the net jargon, also the experimental box enables an analogue simulation of the otherwise exclusively digitally executable effect of stretching of time (slow motion).
