Digital Font Box

Digital typefaces have largely become invisible online-only products, buried in an endless stream of new releases. Even once you’ve found the right one, purchasing a license is just a dry, functional click.
Born from the idea of making type discoverable through unusual channels and creating a fresh, tangible encounter with Viennese typography, the Digital Font Box presents three selected phospho typefaces as local, physical objects: Giramisu, Luxus Brut and Neonoir.
In collaboration with Stadtschrift – Vienna’s association dedicated to preserving urban lettering – these typefaces appear in a small-edition series: each box contains a unique download code together with a postcard showing the respective façade, neatly packaged as a collectible object, with the boxes themselves typeset in Dazzed. The 3.5″ floppy disk is a playful nod to how fonts were sold before the rise of the internet. The font boxes are intended to be discovered in museum shops and concept stores in Vienna.
