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.
