Alignment Space

Third places are know alleviators of both loneliness and political polarization, but they have greatly diminished due to both economic factors and political neglect. However, this may be the most critical time in our history for a gathering place. The growing crisis of isolation and the rampant partisanship of our Government have led to a tenuous relationship between order and freedom. Alignment spaces leverage Monotype’s archive of +150,000 typefaces, leading design experts, and cutting edge tech to help facilitate community growth through typographic design. These print materials represent how type can be leveraged to draw attention to community news, organizing efforts, and define calls to action. In turn, each message leverage’s print’s persistence. Print lives with you; on coffee tables, tacked to walls, and tucked into shelves. The Alignment space would both foster interaction and dialogue between creatives as well as facilitate the circulation of knowledge within a given community.
