The Unfinished Body

2008.01.03


“A contemporary grotesque ornamental typeface inspired by ‘The Unfinished Body’ – a quote taken from Mikhail Bakhtin. The alphabet compares our with medieval folk culture where life and death was the same thing and always happened simultaneously. Bakhtin argues that the grotesque ornament was the ultimate symbol for this where human, animal and plant form intertwined.”
