Åbäke’s Limb Typography is an interactive sculpture that allows people, as its name suggests, to use it for constructing the alphabet and whole words using their arms, or observe other people doing so. Its performative approach to letter type design is all the more a curious activity when considering that the designs can’t be seen directly by the ‘designer’, as the sculpture facilitates an activity at the same time as obscuring your vision of it.
The poster is also accompanied by a poster that presents images of the Japanese alphabet produced with the Limb Typography. Emphasising the functionality of the poster for a certain demographic, it will be available for sale cheaper to Japanese people.
