ConceptA brief history of... the deconstruction and reconstruction of typeexploring type and the deconstruction of it into all the seperate elements which make up each letter. As well as how type can be reconstructed by these elements to create diverse and more interesting visual appearances, looking mainly at the post-modern type aesthetic.

deconstruction: taking apart the type into the seperate elements which make it up

Reconstruction: Putting together separate elements to make up which was broken

Post modernist typefaces: Commonly misinterpreted as typefaces cre-ated digitally which visually follow a certain theme throughout. Post modern typefaces are those which are reconstructions of already ex-isting typefaces put together to create a new typeface.
