IMPER FECTION & SEREN DIPITY

Serendipity denotes an observation of something random, something not originally sought that turns out to be a new and surprising discovery. There are countless serendipities around us (Penicillin and Aspirin, which have freed many humans from suffering, are but one of these).

But isn’t everything merely based on coincidences? What if intentionally disassembling and assembling (a typeface) leads to a redefinition of it? Trial and error are interesting approaches to look for the new. Try one thing, then another, until success. So why not go the same way when it comes to letters and fonts? Disassembly and assembly of type may lead to great discoveries!

The Werkschau design draws inspiration from Marjory, the magical Trash Heap in The Fraggles. Marjory, a living compost heap with mystical powers and alternate genders, acts as an oracle to the Fraggles.
