MZIN RESTOCK: U:D/R 03 — A SYSTEM OF SIX OPTICAL/GEOMETRIC TYPEFACES IN EIGHT WEIGHTS (UNIT EDITIONS)

ThreeSix: A System of Six Optical/Geometric Typefaces in Eight Weights (U:D/R 03) is designed and written by Hamish Muir and Paul McNeil – with an introduction by Wim Crouwel. This research paper reveals the aesthetic and ideological thinking behind the new typeface ThreeSix. It explores the possibilities of using parametric principles to design geometric fonts which are distinctive at large point sizes but which can also be read at smaller sizes in bodies of extended text. 24 pages.
