muirmcmeil have released four new geometric typeface systems together with thepublication of a limited edition of corresponding typographic posters.

following text from muirmcmeil:

paul klee famously said that drawing was taking a line for a walk but nowadays weexercise dots in exactly the same way. almost all contemporary media are assembled fromtiny static points in increasing volume and at increasingly microscopic sizes. sophisticatedsoftware programmes trace our smallest gestures, ideas and decisions in intricate



arrangements of binaries, off or on, on or off. dots cluster tightly together in massiveformations, hiding in plain sight to create spectacular illusions of images, words, objects,motion and sound.

two point poster details

there are four typefaces within the system, each available in extensive variations andsubcomponent versions which can be used for the development of unique design outputs.

twopoint is a monospaced geometric type system based on early dot matrix and leddisplay lettering.

threepoint is a system of three-dimensional display typefaces designed in four viewpointsor projections. it is a dot-based development of muirmcneils 2013 panopticon system.

fourpoint is an optical/geometric type system that explores the relationships betweenscale, density, information and resolution.



tenpoint is a modular type system that attempts to locate typographic objects at the lowestlimit of their function as vehicles of communication; to use the fewest dots.

the typefaces in each system are designed to interact with one another, offering a widerange of visual possibilities. using page layout, bitmap or vector design software, the usercan apply selected styles either in precisely interlocking layers or in easily calibrated offsetoverlays. outlines, tints, colours, textures, patterns and transparencies can be applied asappropriate. these features provide an enormous number of opportunities when workingin print and fixed media. they are also particularly useful in motion graphics where theirprecise layering and calibration allows perfect control over positions and transitions.
