Are there “feminine” visual forms, fonts and materials? Does the “female” social imprint influence design? The answer to these questions is complex, but it is clear that the choice of typeface has a significant influence.
On their website, the Flint*ype collective makes Flinta* type designers visible, archives them and invites you to engage with questions of marginalization in graphic design. They talked about their project process at the lessoning. Charlotte Rohde also took part in the discussion and talked about her working practice.
The poster for the talk at F+F in Zurich – which in its original form is an installation – ties in with the above-mentioned questions about material and visibility and encourages reflection on patriarchal structures in design.
