Typography Journal, Week 1a


This is an interesting typeface. It makes me wonder if it was intended to slow the viewer, like it's inviting us to pause and really look at the word (since the minuscule d isn't as easy to read as the other letters, plus it is a combination of normal-seeming sans-serif characters and exaggerate, atypical extensions). Whatever its intent, I really like the roundness of the tail of the uppercase R and the ascender of the lowercase d and how they flow into the preceding/following characters. The graceful, playfulness of the typeface encouraged me to seek more information on what Miranda is (the blog featuring "the work in and workings of" the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia).
