Publication and workshop co-led for Type-Writing, a two-day design intensive hosted by To Ti Esti in Chicago, IL. The workshop explored the typewriter as both subject and tool, inviting participants to experiment with its mechanical limitations as generative constraints for design. Using The Typewriter Manifesto by Richard Polt as source material, attendees produced typographic compositions that embraced rhythm, repetition, overprinting, and imperfection.
The two-day session culminated in a Riso-printed publication compiling participant work alongside contextual materials from the workshop itself, merging process and outcome into a single printed artifact. Co-facilitated and co-designed by Emily Swenson, the project repositions obsolete technology as an active, tactile force within contemporary typographic practice.
