From Built to Print
Rooted in a “thinking through making” mindset, the project foregrounds process over polished perfection. Each composition, layered and printed, reveals traces of the handmade—mistakes, overlaps, and human touch—that spark curiosity about how the work came to be. By blurring the line between artist and tool, the project questions authorship and control, letting the tool partly shape the outcome.
The final installation combines a wall of evolving prints with a portable workbench where others can experiment themselves. This transforms the project into both an artwork and a participatory workshop, celebrating collective making and open-ended play. The goal is not just to produce singular finished pieces but to inspire others to pick up tools, embrace imperfection, and explore analogue processes in new ways.

Set Rules, Unexpected Outcomes
and archiving; our core principles.
530 Type Club is a student-led fontcollective that hosts workshops and studies on experimental typography. Our workshops deviate from the conventions of typography- twisting. turning. taping. scanning. gluing, inverting. rubbing. rescanning the idea of what type can be.
With play as our methodology and tools as prompts. amateurism reveals the freedom of curiosity in our workshops. The role of the amateur is independent of experience; amateurs prioritize joy and approach decision-making intuitively. By reflecting on our practice as 530. and in conversation with other artists and collectives, we look at how this role is present in varying developmental stages.

The magazine is packed with subtle hints connecting to movement, such as dashed lines representing folding lines for a paper plane, suitcase handles on the side, slanted article titles, and the frequent use of long em dashes. Printing is executed in combination with riso (for dashed lines and images) and laser print.
