Sammendrag
Asemic writing comprises a vast variety of artistic practices in the
fields of visual poetry, fine arts and calligraphy. The term itself
was coined by Tim Gaze and Jim Leftwich, themselves avid asemic
poets, in 1997.
This investigation is conducted within the context of my own
practice as a type designer, researcher and educator. In relation
to the first, asemic writing provides the antidote to the rational,
systematic and often commercially driven activity of designing
typefaces. In relation to the latter, the mentioned practices widen
the educational possibilities by introducing unrestrained, direct
and gestural expression to students of graphic design. As such, it
adds both to the field of knowledge within the professional as well
as to the pedagogical field.
