Angie Keefer: The difference between the two

Angie Keefer is a writer, artist, and co-founder of The Serving Library, along with David Reinfurt and Stuart Bailey of Dexter Sinister.

The Serving Library, as described by Keefer, is a cooperatively-built archive that assembles itself by publishing means. It first releases e-publications of the artworks and texts of various artists under PDF format, for free (but only for a period of six months), after which the latter are printed and sold.

However, Keefer’s presentation specifically focused on the house font of The Serving Library – called Meta-the-Difference-Between-the-Two font, based on the typesetting language of Tex – and how its digital origins relate to design possibilities. She allowed the audience to delve into the video titled “Letter & Spirit”. The 18-minute production presents both a history and a philosophy of fonts by simultaneously playing with the animated typing it uses to convey the message.
