This interactive installation was originally created for the Karel Martens exhibition in 2015, in honor of him receiving the Gerrit Noordzij Prize 2012, organized by @TypeMedia at KABK.

Programmed by @Bahman, but never properly credited. #GhostCoding

Now it is part of the retrospective at Stedelijk Museum #Amsterdam

Tip! Useful shortcuts:
- command/control arrow key left/right: go to next/previous glyph (according to the glyph search list)
- command/control arrow key up/down: go to next/previous source location

("command" on macOS, "control" on Windows and Linux)

There's a new Sidebearing tool! You can select multiple sidebearings with shift. Using the alt key provides additional useful behavior. Supports arrow keys for keyboard nudging. Tab key to go to next sidebearing.

An absolutely beautiful specimen for Polish railway signage, about 100 years ago.

DIN-like, but not quite DIN. I feel that 2 will be instantly recognizable to anyone who travelled through Poland.

This is the first and exclusive preview of this year’s amazing TypeMedia graduation work. You are of course invited to come to the Graduation Exhibition which opens at the KABK in The Hague on Thursday 17:00, July 3, 2025. Last day on Tuesday July 8, 2025. Please note that the TypeMedia exam schedule made it impossible to join TypeLab live, so that’s why we prepared a recording for you!
