This toolkit encourages embracing complexity of type design through logic, collaboration, and play, rather than rigid technicalities like x-heights and baselines. By establishing simple, intuitive rules or constraints, it enables the creation of unexpected, emergent outcomes—making type design more playful and less intimidating. This toolkit is ever-evolving, both a resource and an archive, where the true final form is the knowledge gained through the process.
Start from The Grid {step1} and come down to the block {step 3}. Open/move/play with the kit; Make/break/follow/ unfollow/learn/unlearn and most importantly have fun through the process.
The toolkit is designed to facilitate workshops that help creatives break free from rigid structures and foster community building.

In the realm of mundane chores lies the laundry room, or utility room, where clothes undergo their cleansing ritual of washing and drying. It's a task I often delayed until the laundry bag spews forth its contents in protest. Amidst this cycle, I document the sights, sensations, and emotions of each laundry session, turning the mundane task into a long, washable book. Exploring this experince through mapping and design writting. This experiment was further explored through video and sound design!
