Th(ink) in Type
Hugo Carvalho, Hugo Moura, Rita Soares and Taina Silva
Th(ink) in Type is a typographic manual for designers, students and typography enthusiasts. The project is a compilation of excerpts by various authors from the fields of graphic design and type design, intended to serve as a specialized guide to the study of typography. The book’s editorial design favors interaction with its reader. Pages can be rearranged or removed, encouraging an active, personalized reading. The acrylic cover gives it the status of a book-object, exploring the duality between educational publication and exhibition design piece, balancing and exploring both the functionality and the aesthetics of the publication.
