Apocalypso Font Catalog
2009
This is a fictional collaboration with Johnathan Barnbrook, a controversial designers who criticizes war and corporate culture.
The concept of the project is to package one of his fonts that even he describes as 'useless' into a powerful and collectible book. It was important to try to think about a font as a piece of conceptual art rather than a design tool to accomplish another goal.
To create the piece, images were collected in a programmatic way from many online sources. The saying embedded in a single character of the font (such as "Congratulations for Making Profit from War") was searched and the best image returned was saved. It became an invisible collaboration linking many creatives in powerful and ironic ways.
