Skeleton Typogram

Exo… Endo… Typo! Your life, your organ­ism, your soft tis­sues but a pud­dle on the ground, if not for the ancient seg­men­tal struc­ture of the Ver­te­brates. The orig­i­nal hard core is evolv­ing for 400 mil­lion years now. Hominids, like you, are using the lat­est upright tech­nol­ogy orig­i­nat­ing only 4 mil­lion years prior. Here it is, updated, and recon­structed in a 2 dimen­sional sta­tic rep­re­sen­ta­tion of long-stride loco­mo­tion for your screen or paper ! The com­po­nent bones, ordi­nar­ily con­structed with rigid min­er­al­ized tis­sues, have been entirely typo-grammatically replaced with 676 free and fused glyphs, together form­ing a com­plete skele­tal dia­gram in Latin. A rad­i­cally lit­eral graphic abstrac­tion of anatomy:

Down­load the PDF *, and print it for the auto­di­dac­tic use of learn­ing the sci­en­tif­i­cally accept­able latin terms for the frame­work com­po­nents of your own cor­pus. Your skele­ton has not evolved for sit­ting, please take it for a run, as depicted in the Skele­ton Typogram.

Bicycle Typogram — Mini Prints

Mini… mini… minia­ture… Let­ter­pressed minia­ture prints are type-high. The first spoils from a foray into the realm of pressed let­ters. Known in the art as broad­sides, these are a lit­tle less broad, so they are mini prints here, all crisply pressed with the best non-toxic rub­ber inks on Fab­ri­ano Medio­e­valis cards. Fab­ri­ano has been mak­ing paper like

Bicycle Typogram — Edition 5 — Color Harmony

This edi­tion is


Bicycle Typogram — Printed

Print…print…print. The Bicy­cle Typogram (orig­i­nal graphic here) is printed. Card, flood, print, pull, dry. Each impres­sion rep­re­sents a unique moment in time. Reg­is­tra­tion E tabs, press micro-adjustments, stencil-restricted ink deposits, attempts to make each moment an exact replica — the tick tock of a per­fect clock. But per­fec­tion is not eas­ily repro­duced. {click image for
