Jury report

The jury distinguishes this comprehensive research project that dares to imagine a future for type design that is not constrained by the Bézier curve, which has become the industry standard since the dawn of digital type. The project questions and reevaluates this standard, following five distinct lines of inquiry and generating unexpected and surprising results, with the potential to go beyond established trends and traditions. The jury also points out that the outcomes are directly applied back into pedagogy, with the potential to influence a whole new generation of design practitioners.
