TYPE DESIGN 字體設計
In MiXeR, the fusion of uppercase and lowercase makes the alphabet alien yet highly readable. It not only breaks the hierarchy of the letter cases in the writing language but also represents the collectively desired and collaborative ethics of all human subjects and even non-humans. All the letter cases should have the same right of speaking in the same volume without losing the characteristic of each individual because difference is allowed to exist. It’s not either/or, instead, it is and/and. The new closed relationship, the intertwined structure that comes with the consonant voice of the new alphabet here, is a visual manifesto of our posthuman future.
MiXeR has been selected to receive funding from the Gonda Social Justice Fund.

Valor is a serif text face inspired by Caslon. I made this typeface at RISD and developed it at Occupantfonts. It has Roman, Italic, and Bold. There are still many glyphs missing. More glyphs are to come! Valor was used on risd.gd website in the summer of 2021.
