Decoration by design: Magneto Motivity
Lori Young
Abstract
Magneto Motivity is a hybrid of the additive and subtractive fonts. This additive plus subtractive approach allowed me to play around with the decoration process without knowing ror certain what the outcome would be. The visual form of Magneto Motivity-which I suggest embodies aspects of our contemporary culture-turned out to be surprisingly Neo-Rococo.

Typography: body and dress of a text - a signing mode between language and image
Hartmut Stöckl
Abstract
This study demonstrates how semiotic theories can be used to understand typography. Starting from the assumption that typography represents a mode/code in its own right, which interacts with all other textual signing modes, the article outlines a typographic `grammar' as a structured set of networked resources. The analytical toolkit is then illustrated with the help of two sample texts. Based on some general semiotic reflections about the nature and operations of the graphic sign, this article also attempts a concise account of typographic meaning making and its communicative effects.
