Type Charts plate 10, Century Expanded

Agnes Richter, a mental patient in Austrian asylum, embroidered her jacket with text. Through the script she transcribed herself into time, space and place. Her writing orients and disorients. Made in 1895, it is a standard issue uniform given to mental patients at the time. Richter has embroidered so intensively that reading impossible in certain areas of the garment. Words appear and disappear into seams and under layers of thread. There is no beginning or end, just spirals of intersecting fragmentary narratives. She is declarative: “I”, “mine”, “my jacket”, “my white stockings…., “I am in the Hubertusburg / ground floor”, “children”, “sister” and “cook”. In the inside she has written “1894 I am / I today woman”. She has also re-embroidered the laundry number printed on her jacket “ 583 Hubertusburg”, almost transforming something institutional and distant into something intimate, obsessive and possessive. It is a compelling piece of hypertext and untamed writing.

Engravers Bodoni was drawn by M. F. Benton in 1926 and released in 1933. It is an all-caps extended version of Benton’s Bodoni Bold, with a few modifications for use in stationery, hence the name.

Wood, Rubik’s cube
2.2 in. × 2.2 in. × 2.2 in.

This Rubik’s cube serves as a handheld wooden letter press that can reassemble the anatomical structure of six historic typefaces: Blackletter, Baskerville, Poster Bodoni Futura, Helvetica, and Gotham. The letter “m” was chosen as it is the standard from which all other em widths within an alphabet are derived. The use of a Rubik’s cube serves as an analogy for the evolution and complication of typography over centuries.
