Ruam Mitr Type

Bangkok is a city of diversity. Representative of this are the variety of letterforms found on the city's multitude of signs, many from different periods throughout Bangkok's history. However, some of these unique forms, indicative of the places they are present, have seemingly been lost with the demolition of their original homes. This interactive installation is the result of an effort to collect different letterforms from their designers and social media for presentation as digital fonts with plentiful alternate characters. Participants in the installation may type in any word they wish and see it morphed into a collage of different fonts and styles.a
