I may regret this at some point, but I felt the need to put down in writing how I feel about this moment in the tech industry.

It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.

When you love letters, every letter is a love letter.

Dear letters lovers,
OSP is happy to start the plotter workshop series, a series of four workshops from February to June, focusing on languages and uses related to pen plotters.
The first workshop will focus on the so called single line fonts.
Bring your favorite font.
Together with our special guest Mariel Nils, we will write love letters to [current, future, past] lovers, friends, favorite glyphs, summer lake, collective, picture, preferred useless object, etc.
We will revisit the font(s) you brought using one of our recipes. Through a series of scripts and steps we'll find their shaking spines (ductus or central line).
We will then draw your declarations on paper, envelope or fabric using the spines and a pen-plotter machine*.
While we'll work with fonts, this is not a workshop about type design rather an encounter with the tangibility of letterforms, pens and algorithmic processing.
Join us for this introduction to rafting on the river in the heart of our glyphs throughout a set of software pieces.

...

Designed as a tool to make words more visible, it unsettles and questions the automatic nature of the process of reading (so prevalent in the typographic tradition) by proposing a system that slows it down, inducing pauses that allow to recreate on its form and better absorb the meaning of words. It finds beauty in discomfort, it's designed to interrupt.
