TYPOGRAPHY is what language looks like.
It is the art and technics of type design.
Type the sky
is an original project by Lisa Rienermann, a student of Duisburg-Essen
University. Each letter is an empty space in the sky of
Barcelona surrounded by buildings. She says: "Todo comenzó por la Q.
Estaba en una pequeña calle de Barcelona y al mirar hacia arriba vi las
casas, el cielo y las nubes. El área oscurecida por las casas dejaba
entrever una forma en el cielo que parecía una Q. Esa fue la idea de la
técnica. Pensé que si una Q me había encontrado a mi, no sería difícil
que yo encontrara al resto del alfabeto. De modo que pasé semanas
mirando al cielo, buscando el resto de las letras entre las casas."
