Glyph Drawing Club Workshop: Zine

18.–22.2.2019

 

The Glyph Drawing Club Workshop zine is the result of a week-long modular type design & illustration workshop. All letterings, illustrations and patterns in this zine are made with Glyph Drawing Club, a versatile online text art and modular design editor. The editor is inspired by the limitations and possibilities of old school ASCII art editors, but brought to modern times; the editor is based on an adjustable grid into which typographic symbols (glyphs) can be inserted from any font. The work in this zine is done with a modular type system called “Tesserae 4×4”, which is a large collection of square tiles decorated with a variety of patterns that can be rotated, mirrored, inverted and colorised.
