We were commissioned by Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum to design a 3D printable typeface for the 2017 Holland Festival, and in collaboration with the London-based art and architecture collective åyr. For the event, poems by Joan Larkin, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Carry van Bruggen, Sophie Collins, and Bhanu Kapil were 3D printed as individual word blocks and arranged like a floorplan for the installation. These texts commented on the global housing crisis, mass production, and the relationship between public and private spheres.
