Facts & Figures
Mission Statement: “Escehaeriefte” places lettering as nourishment and as a world project into debate. It’s art work as well as cultural object. It takes the liberty to query alphabetism and turns alphabetism inside out. Along the borders of the alphabetical world we are searching for sound-fonts, art-lettering and body-type. We are strolling between magazines and writers, we dare the balancing act between the Scriptures and basic lettering. And last but not least, we make the attempt to relieve wellknown objects from lettering. Lettering is global, analog, digital, cyrillic, arabic, chinese, carved in stone, goffered, unreadable, ambivalent, quite accurate and incredibly flexible, and of course very erotic.
