Thinking with Type Accordian Set
Winter 2023


Category
Print Spreads, Manually-Bound
These eight spread booklets are a set of typographic interpretations of Ellen Lupton’s essay Thinking With Type.
The focus was to balance legibility and tracking for the reader while playing with typographic rhythm and style over the spreads. I gathered my initial sketches and translated them into
sequences of typographic blocks, with emphasis on ABA patterning. I learned from Ellen Lupton that by using an empathetic approach to how a reader’s eye follows type on a page, designing type can take new forms. The importance of craft in this project came to be a key takeaway as well. It was one of the first experiences I had learning how to carefully craft and bind booklets using only cardstock and masking tape.
