“panoranoglyph” was a semester-long group project that explored how typography could be classified and how to compare different styles to each other. Anaglyphs are two colored images superimposed on top of each other, and to see one image, you need to look through the appropriate color lens to see it by itself. Building off of this concept, the book compares typefaces through the anaglyph method which both emphasizes the distinct characteristics of each typeface and provokes thoughts about how different typeface styles could be used together.
To complete this project, the class created a template and everyone contributed their unique typeface pairs. At the end of the semester, we printed, trimmed, and glued forty copies of “panoranoglyph” for both personal use and contribution to the department’s printed matter archive.
