    This typographic exploration investigates unconventional typography through the making of ceramic forms to create three-dimensional type within a system. In response to an increasing dematerialization of type and a criticism toward the dominance of computer generated type design, three-dimensional type was made out of clay through an interplay between typographic fundamentals and ceramic techniques. It is an attempt to create a new realm between type design and ceramics. It would be inspiring for other graphic and type designers to discover and follow their own unique path for type creation outside of digital realm.
