DESCRIPTION

A pseudo-scientific research publication on sign painting in the Philippines. Contains graphic and text questionnaires filled out by 24 sign painters from Metro Manila and one guy from Samar Island and over 10 stroke manuals. Writings include a manifesto on slow vs. fast typography—by Lobregat Balaguer (PH/ES), Veronica Grow (AU) and Niko Spelbrink (NL); an essay on identity politics and graffiti writing in the Philippines, plus two special, syndicated case studies on native type building: Nagari: Learning to make writing for India’s biggest script by Catherine Leigh Schmidt (Rhode Island School of Design/Fulbright Scholar, US), and The Babel Issue by Birk Marcus Hansen (DK), a bilingual typography experiment that combines Chinese and Roman characters.
