Three-dimensional typefaces are omnipresent: from festive decorations, shop displays and art installations to typefaces on buildings in public spaces. Such typefaces are especially popular because of their haptic presence as they counterbalance the letters scuttling across shimmering screens. The exhibition focuses on 3D lettering on buildings, which take into account architectural features and their surroundings, thus affording buildings a fitting identity. Using innovative national and international examples from the past 20 years, the exhibition explores the function and design of 3D typefaces, which are often part of a comprehensive communication system.
