UNCLEAN

  • Hannah Thomas

With words by Tanizaki "unclean" looks at how type can be informed by a medium. Unclean was a campaign designed for monotype using its popular typeface Neue Kabel. The inspiration for this video campaign came from Kabel's own history. Originally being a typeface from the 1920s, Germany and Japan had a rich design relationship in the interwar era that I wanted to pay homage to. Using the type in subtitle format together with found imagery from 1920's Japan, Britain and Germany.
