Measuring Abstraction (Typography)
This outcome is part of the same exploration to measure abstraction. A tool was created to guide beginners in atypographic reading. Atypography is a contemporary typographic movement born in a rejection of the oversaturation of typography found in public spaces and in advertising – hiding messages and writing behind abstracted letterforms that are less obtrusive. The tool mimics the mechanics of slide rules and guides beginners in the estimated time it would take to decode each font, based on a set of five information points.
