Set Rules,
Unexpected Outcomes:

On Workshop-Based Design Practices

Edited by 530 Type Club

530 Type Club is a font-collective that hosts workshops and studies on experimental typography. Set Rules, Unexpected Outcomes: On Workshop-Based Design Practices is an investigation on how workshop-based creative practices engage with community, thinking through making, and archiving—the core of 530 Type Club.

The book contains interviews with individual designers as well as collectives whose practices involve workshops such as Fraser Muggeridge, Amandine Alessandra, Benjamin McMillan, notyourtypefoundry, K.C⇄Q, Extra Practice, Pen Plotting Party, DuctTape Collective, and No Other Option.

The publication also serves as an archive of the third generation of 530 Type Club, featuring letterforms produced during workshops and a visual essay illustrating the chronicle of their workshops.
