Patterns for Utopia

Patterns for Utopia investigates how the system of typography can be used as a tool for drawing future cities. Utopia is no place. It exists in the speculations and fantasies of dreamers. The openness of utopia has inspired the imagining of ideal futures that are free from the limitations of what is possible in the here and now. This series of typefaces can be used to construct visual maps and plans of cities. The design outcomes for this project consist of a type specimen displaying four typefaces and an interactive website: www.patternsforutopia.com
