Title: … (Ellipsis) / Glynn Vivian Art Gallery Typeface.
… is a typeface which incorporates the handwriting of people involved in the re-development of the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery.
For example; the letter ’x’ is a reproduction of the writing of the lead Architect and ‘ z’ the hand of the Curator. Other letters replicate the hand writing of bricklayers, decorators, gallery technicians, education staff and contractors. The typeface is designed for English and Welsh. … (Ellipsis) celebrates the sum of the parts that make the redevelopment of the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery possible. The title refers to a pause in writing and the pause in the history of the building while suggests the anticipation of the re-opening. It is intended to be used primarily for communications between departments at the gallery but it available to download for free by anyone through The Book Project (TBP) link on www.richardhiglett.com
