4D Type by Lo Siento Studio

Posted by on Jul 21, 2012 in DESIGN

Bummed out that even the most hi-tech movies are (for now) bound to three dimensions? Take solace in Lo Siento Studio’s 4D typography and its careful, old-school production. Artists carve out, and interlock, two versions of a single letter—and the resulting form “allows the spectator to read it from, minimum, two different positions in space.”  The intention is to make the appreciation of typography a more active process, necessitating the reader’s physical movement. The finished product is as multi-purpose as it is multi-dimensional: the letters are pictured hanging from the ceiling and used as legs of a coffee table. Cheers to an ancient art form made new.

    It’s really cool.
    But it still only has three dimensions.
    People keep trying to use 4D like it’s “versioning” or something. It is not. It is another dimension in space and time. Kind of.

    Still, love the project.
