The purpose of this project is to encourage a conversation on climate change. In or-der for this to happen, the content had to be clear and easy to access, through an

entertaining interactive process.

of great detail, where he or she can discover diverse environmental concerns that

pop-up on screen when the mouse is scrolled over particular areas of the screen.

Vincet Figgins (1766-1844) was

the rst typessetter recorded

to have developed Slab Serif or

Egyptian typefaces. In 1815,

Figggins designed a font he

called Egiziano Black, its name is allusive to

its reminiscence of Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The sharp angles, created between the stem

and the solid and bold serifs of the letter-

forms, were particularly helpful when used in

larger scale. Since the letters hold a weight

that maintains their legibility even from

afar, making this typeface particularly ap-

pealing for advertisement purposes.

Later, in the year 1821, Figgins introduced

Monotype Ionic. A typeface inspired in the

classical Ionic Greek columns. The letter-

forms hold -as columns- a balance between

roundness, boldness and angular vertices,

which creates solid characters of easy read-

ability, thanks to their clean and scarcely

adorned forms. Differently from Egiziano

Black, Monotype Ionic is characterized by a

lighter weight, which makes it appropriate

for use as body text.

Figgins, worked as a punch cutter and desi-

gner at Joseph Jacksons foundry shop. After

Jacksons death, William Caslon III, acquired

the late Jacksons foundry. Apparently due

to Figins extraordinary skills, Caslon III

found himself at unease, prompting Figgins

to leave the foundry and look for patron-

age. Luckily enough, John Nichols, intimate

friend of Joseph Jackson, offered auspice to

Figgins, whom would remain grateful for

Nichols generosity through out his life.

During the early 1820s, fueled by

trial Revolution, a need to nd ty

could be seen clearly from a dista

mainly because of the need to ad

multiple products. Furthermore

develop letterforms that would p
